Political Quotes

“I thank all the parties. I think we should not let this moment go by, I say to my majority leader, because I do believe there are so many wonderful things in the package that have been assembled by the Senator from Alaska. I know he has invested himself personally in the Presidio. He has been out there and he has shown, by his presence there, the bipartisan support we have out there. This is one of the few issues where we have President Clinton, we have Senator Dole, we have Vice President Gore and Vice Presidential candidate Kemp all in agreement. We have Frank Murkowski and Barbara Boxer agreeing that we have to do something with this Presidio. I talked with Congressman Miller this morning. I know he is trying hard to come up with a compromise. I just think, knowing all of you as I do, there has to be some way we can reach agreement. I stand ready to help in any way. Please contact me at any point in the negotiations if I can be of help.”
