President Clinton has hired superlawyer Robert Bennett to defend him against charges of sexual harassment. I wonder if Mr. Bennett will also defend the President's foreign policy. If he could do that, Bennett would really be a superlawyer. But let us face it, Madam Speaker. For many of the President's policies, there is no defense. His foreign policy has been inconsistent, indecisive, weak, vacillating, mystifying, and maddening. He has sacrificed American leadership on the altar of domestic politics. And the latest polls indicate the President has not impressed the public with his foreign policy efforts. In fact, 50 percent of the people do not trust the President to make the right call in international affairs. Madam Speaker, the President has hired a superlawyer to defend him against sexual harassment charges. He needs more than a superlawyer to defend his foreign policy.
