On the recordMarch 17, 1994
Mr. President, this is a milestone day in the Senate, and I should say another milestone day because today we have heard the 33d speech by Republican colleagues on the other side of the aisle since January 1 relating to the Whitewater episode. On 33 occasions, our colleagues on the other side of the aisle have taken the floor of the U.S. Senate and either asked for congressional investigations or have in one way or another alluded to the Whitewater episode. Mr. President, I am very glad that the majority leader a few moments ago stated for the Record that our former colleague in the U.S. Senate, the Honorable Barry Goldwater of Arizona, of course a Republican, a one-time standard bearer for the Republican Party in 1964, as a candidate for President, one whose credentials, I think, as a Republican are impeccable, Senator Goldwater yesterday called the press in Arizona to his home, I believe that is in Paradise Valley, AZ. Basically, the headline of the Associated Press article, Mr. President, stated this. This was yesterday. "Get Off President's Back."
