Political Quotes

“I am honored to join with the Senator from Kansas in introducing S. 2042, the aim of which, as has been stated, is to lift the arms embargo on Bosnia. I am pleased, also, that Senator Dole and I have 31 other cosponsors from both parties. This is genuinely a bipartisan expression of not just opinion, but a call for action and leadership on this vexing problem of what we can do to fulfill our strategic interests and moral responsibilities in the conflict in Bosnia. I want to say, Mr. President, in terms of the bipartisanship of this effort, that the Senator from Kansas and I did not begin working on this matter during the Democratic administration of President Clinton. We worked side by side during the Republican administration of President Bush where the Senator from Kansas was equally as direct and outspoken and, in that case, opposed to a policy that was being pursued by the then Republican administration. So this is truly a bipartisan effort, and as the Senator from Kansas said, it is an effort that we have conceived to do at least two things procedurally apart from what it does substantively.”
