Cliff Stearns: “This line of scripture sort of ties into what my colleague mentioned when he tried to separate the Members of Congress…”

On the recordFebruary 5, 1998
This line of scripture sort of ties into what my colleague mentioned when he tried to separate the Members of Congress when they got into a little scuffle here. The line is, ``Greater love than this no man has than he lay down his life for his friends.'' When I think about Bob Dornan's willingness to sacrifice--and, as my colleagues know, his full name is Robert Kenneth Patrick Dornan. Almost, when I saw the movie Brave Heart, I could not help but think of Bob Dornan because of his spiritedness and his mission and willingness to go to any lengths to help his fellow man, not just on the basis of humanitarian purposes but on honor and duty and country.
