Political Quotes

“I am proud to join with the distinguished Republican leader, the Senator from Kansas, [Mr. Dole], in cosponsoring this amendment and thank him for his leadership.

Mr. President, in moving to direct the administration to suspend the existing embargo of distribution or sale of weapons to Bosnia, I believe we are also acting, as the Senator from Kansas has said, to support a position that President Clinton has taken now for almost 2 years, which is to be opposed to the embargo, to strengthen his hand in negotiating with our European allies, and in our own voices to send as clear a message as we possibly can to the Bosnian Serb Army and to the Serbian leadership that we have had enough and we are going to match rhetoric with action and, more important, with weapons, effective weapons in the hands of the Bosnian Moslems.”
