On the recordJanuary 29, 1998
The Senator from Arkansas was here yesterday and gave a very inspiring commentary on his legislation to improve American education, but he has matched yesterday. Those were remarkable words, and the personal feeling in connection with the former President is obvious. I watched the same speech and remember just being stunned by it. I didn't really know that much about him, but I remember turning to my mother and saying, ``You ought to have heard that speech.'' Anybody who heard it I think was moved by it. But I really do believe the Senator has captured his optimism, and I commend the Senator for it.
