Political Quotes

“I think we need to state that. I think the gentleman has accurately and correctly stated the fact that we need to treat this on a wartime footing. It is the same as terrorism. It is our kids whose lives are being lost, and while if we were really at war against some nation, obviously we would be mobilizing and so forth, and that would be a little different and we do not ask that people put that over there at the Department of Defense on the same level but we are asking in the sense of the Congress that is in the bill and supporting it with this amendment findings of fact, that the Department of Defense recognize that it does have a high priority. It should be up there at least equal to those things they are doing elsewhere in the world that are short of war, and I think that is very justifiable.”
