On the recordMarch 3, 1995
I was so saddened yesterday about the outcome, the narrow defeat of the opportunity to move forward with the debate in the Nation about constructing an amendment to the Constitution requiring a balanced budget. It reminded me a little of when I was a youngster and the battle in Korea had just begun. Each day I would pick up the paper and the perimeter would shrink for U.S. forces trying to hold on against the surge of the enemy. Every day was a little more sad, because that perimeter shrunk and shrunk and shrunk until finally it was a very small piece of that Korean Peninsula surrounding the city of Pusan. Lo and behold, the will of the country, the will of the alliance to put back an evil force that would do great damage to the future of the free world ultimately prevailed. I think the analogy will be so here.
