On the recordSeptember 10, 1998
It is an irony today to be in a situation as a Nation the United States is where our former Cold War adversary is essentially becoming an economic basket case, and I do believe that we as a body are going to have to wrestle with this issue... there is a tremendous amount at stake for the United States to see to it that there is stability in Russia, and because of that, I think we as a Nation and we as a body, the United States Congress, the House and Senate, are going to have to deal with this issue.
