Political Quotes

On the recordApril 14, 1994
I pointed out his attorney general was against the Biden compromise and I pointed out that a majority of the attorneys general were for the compromise and a third to half ended up being opposed to the compromise. The official endorsement came from the District Attorneys Association. The Senator is correct in that the attorneys general board of directors endorsed it. He is also correct that a majority of the attorneys general of the United States of America beginning and at the end endorsed, and he is correct that the Attorneys General Association as an association did not officially endorse because at that point when, by, I guess it was--how many attorneys general--I think there were--do not hold me to this. I will do it for the Record. But I think there were 11 attorneys general officially opposed, 11 State district attorneys general, and there was as many as 18 that had questions about it, if I recall correctly. So, my enthusiasm was not overblown or overborne.
