Bill Clinton actually said...

"His practice of bipartisanship earned Bill Perry the trust and respect of the Congress and the American people."

"Secretary Perry's many trips abroad were as much about checking in with our troops and their families as they were about meeting with defense ministers and military leaders in other lands."

"When the history of our time is written, Bill Perry may well be recorded as the most productive, effective Secretary of Defense the United States ever had."

"Our borders have been greatly strengthened with more personnel and better technology."
