"Far from reducing the amount of money the Federal Government collected in tax revenues, over the long run, those collections actually increased due to the economic activity sparked by the tax cuts."

"I am saddened and disappointed that the Senate has bowed today to a campaign of political pressure and has turned down the nomination of Judge Robert Bork to the Supreme Court."

"This is the kind of jurist the American people want on the Supreme Court."

"The highest Court in our land will not enjoy the services of one of the finest men ever put forward for a place on its bench."
