On the recordJuly 30, 1998
We need to trust the system. It has to be done where we work together, Republican and Democrats, and we should not delegate it. It is our responsibility, not their responsibility. We need the input and advice of all the sources, but it is not going to be trusted if we turn it over to a group of academics who want to have this great statistical experiment, and I think I am excited for them to have this great statistical experiment, but let us just count everyone. This is not the time for a census experiment. This is not the time to put experimental aircraft in the side of this count. This aircraft has to fly and has to fly for a long time.
