On the recordJanuary 15, 1997
I want it to be over. I want it to be over. You know, the American people have given us larger responsibilities. I think in general, at least in my experience in my brief time here the last 4 years, way too much time and energy and effort is spent on all these things, leaving too little time and emotional energy for the work of the people. So that's what I think. I want it to be over, whatever--the Speaker should do whatever is appropriate, and we should get on with it, put it behind us, and go on with the business of the country. Thank you.
