On the recordSeptember 17, 1998
I share the concerns that our colleagues have about the irresponsibility of the North Korean regime. Members of the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence... I can certainly firsthand agree with the horrible state of affairs. But the poverty of spirit we saw in North Korea, the cruelty of the regime, that they could sit back while their people were eating bark and roots and grass, and yet spend a fortune on the war machine that is there, because they are focused and they are militant and they are irresponsible, it is for those reasons that I think we are playing with fire today when we are trying to tie the hands of the administration. This is a very serious vote. I urge my colleagues to vote 'no' on the Gilman amendment.
