Bill Clinton: I'll tell you what I'll do. I'm telling you, the only reason that they asked me to do this is because you've asked me…

On the recordOctober 2, 1996
I'll tell you what I'll do. I'm telling you, the only reason that they asked me to do this is because you've asked me some very interesting and difficult questions, some of which would be even more difficult for them to answer than for me. So they wanted me to answer it so we wouldn't, any of us, say anything that would wreck what we're trying to do Sunday morning. But if they would like to come up-- and since I've answered my last question, if they would--if any of them would like to come up and make a brief statement, or all of them would, I would be happy to have them make a brief statement. Your Majesty, would you like to start? Anybody want to go? So, now this is a miracle. [Laughter] I didn't part the waters, but I have silenced the voices. [Laughter] Thank you very much. Thank you.
