Political Quotes

On the recordFebruary 4, 1998
it seems as though we are beginning this year on the same note as last year but with a different tune. Today we are going to vote on House Joint Resolution 343, an effort to deny the legitimate payment of bills incurred by the President's Task Force on National Health Care Reform convened in 1993. Some Members of this body do not want to pay the bills because they did not like the recommendations. Let us be serious. Let us get on with the real business of this country like providing health care to indigent children, protecting Social Security, fixing our roads and bridges, providing day care, creating jobs with livable wages, hiring teachers and lowering class size. Let us vote down House Joint Resolution 343 and get on with the real business of the American people.
