On the recordJanuary 24, 1996
I just want to say about Congressman Dornan that he is not to be taken lightly. He is a fighter, if I have ever seen a fighter. He is a man that lives, breathes, and sleeps what he believes. There is not a hypocritical bone in his body. There is no hypocrisy in the man whatsoever. And so I am proud to be his friend. When I listen to him sometimes, the determination that he pursues a fight to bring America where it should be, and continues, whether the odds are a million to one or 1 to 1, and I know this, until his dying breath, he will never quit. So, I am proud to call him my friend and I am proud that he is on our side. I am proud that he is working so hard for this country, and I thank him. Bob, did I hear the President say he wanted charter school systems last night?
