“Well, let us see how rough Mr. Krauthammer gets here. I want the Chair to be advised, I am against rule XVIII applying to the executive branch. I am against Clinton and Gore getting the protection and violating the separation of powers, but I will respect it because we passed it here. But we did now know what we were passing on. It was not debated. That is for the decorum of this Chamber or so that this House naturally in combat, particularly in this current conference period, do not say disparaging things about the U.S. Senators in here, but I can tear the face off any Supreme Court Justice, or Mrs. Clinton, which I have chosen not to do, or any of the cabinet people who are running up $150,000 on travel cards flying all around the world with huge staff and getting massages in exotic hotels, I can tear up anybody except under rule XVIII in some strange flush of generosity, we added those two offices. It was never respected with George Bush, certainly Nixon was savaged in this well for most of his career, Barry Goldwater as a U.S. Senator received some rough moments here. But I will try and work my way through it and next year in January try and take that out. Even if my friend Bob Dole is elected President, I will try and take out that rule.”
