Dana Rohrabacher: “Let me just say that, on that vote that was brought up by my good friend from Maryland (Mr. Hoyer), it is 10 years later…”

On the recordMay 6, 1999
Let me just say that, on that vote that was brought up by my good friend from Maryland (Mr. Hoyer), it is 10 years later and I think I am 10 years wiser. I think I would have voted differently at that time. Even then I knew it was important for the White House to come here and seek approval. Now, after thinking about it and seeing it and having experienced this body, I do believe that in a free society it is important for our power, the legislative branch, to express itself on such issues as this. I do not believe that is hypocrisy. I think that is learning.
