“While I would differ with her characterization of President Clinton's posture, her praise for Senator Lott as majority leader is right on target. I had the privilege of serving with Trent Lott in the House and now here in the Senate. When a new leader comes in, there is a big question mark. Frankly, I did not know what kind of a majority leader he would be. My impression is he is serving his party and the Senate and the Nation very well. I, as one who was uncertain, now have the impression that Senator Lott and his leadership is going to be very good for the Nation.”
