On the recordDecember 18, 1998
I would challenge anyone on this floor to name the moderates who have come to you and said, we have been pressured. I, for one, and my colleagues I have spoken to have said this is a vote of conscience and respect our vote of conscience as much as you are asking us to respect yours. I think it is outrageous that my colleagues on the other side use a political maneuver to impugn our integrity just because they do not agree with the consideration that we have given.
