"We have to acknowledge the fact that we have been willing to tolerate a much higher level of violence than we should have."

"By choosing an across-the-board cut, the Congress has failed to meet that responsibility."

"Today's overwhelming vote in the House is an encouraging step toward passage of a strong, enforceable Patients' Bill of Rights."

"This across-the-board cut would result in indiscriminate reductions in important areas such as education, the environment, and law enforcement."
