On the recordApril 19, 1994
the culture does need changing. And I happen to know that Admiral Kelso spent more time trying to change the culture of the Navy in this area, probably than any other feature, during his entire CNO tenure. That is why I am here defending him, knowing that there is a search and a frustration to find someone to punish. That is the mood of the Senate today, is to find someone to punish. The Senate of the United States needs to administer due process and justice and make sure that when we vote to basically, in effect, punish Admiral Kelso--if we do, and I hope we do not --that we should do so after searching our conscience and after looking at the evidence and after looking at his tenure and after looking at his due diligence and after looking at the entire case, not simply out of frustration and not simply because nobody has yet been punished severely enough for this body in terms of the transgressions that occurred.
