Political Quotes

“If I could take back my time, I agree with the gentleman, but I think it is also important to have the facts on the table. The facts on the table, according to the report I have gotten back, is the increase in defense expenditures we put in this year, along with making the country more secure, provides an additional 200,000 plus jobs above and beyond the level that the President was talking about in California. I think it is important to have a complete record, and I might remind my friend that the President did not make that speech to the Joint Chiefs of Staff or to a security group. He made it to workers who were concerned about their jobs. He was plainly making a pitch to aerospace workers to the effect that the Clinton administration is going to maintain aerospace jobs. We say fine. We would also like to put on the record exactly how many jobs are created by this defense bill.”
