On the recordFebruary 16, 1995
I was amazed that these hawks that were always on the opposite side of Ron Dellums it seemed like on every issue, spoke in the most glowing terms of Mr. Dellums because he is a very articulate speaker, he has very deep convictions, and he says what he means. That is what I was alluding to before, we can have disagreements on issues, we can disagree on the best way to have welfare reform, we can have disagreements on what is the best way to protect our shores. As long as we keep the debate at the level that Mr. Dellums always keeps the debate and other Members on our side of the aisle always keep the debate, we will be fine. Because in the end it is not about an ideological argument.
