On the recordSeptember 15, 1995

Let me just add one other point. We talked a lot on the floor in the Senate about the crime problem. My instinct is, if we guarantee jobs to people and require work--not just guarantee but require work--we will see a change in the crime rate. You show me an area of high unemployment--black, Hispanic, white, whatever the area--and I will show you an area of high crime. I think this makes sense. I hope it could be accepted by the body.
