“let me also quote from a news story from the Washington Post where Mr. Cisneros, the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, says: ``We believe'' that the new initiative ``will pass constitutional muster.'' He appeared, however, to place substantial measure of legal confidence in the power of public opinion--well-documented for years--in support of drastic measures. ``Everything we have proposed here is in consultation with [public housing] residents,'' Cisneros said. ``The residents have requested that the policy of sweeps continue, and they support them.'' And, like Clinton, he was quick to assert the rights of the oppressed over the concerns of the ACLU, whose ``abstract analysis of people's rights'' is ``swamped in real life by people's rights being denied.'' Those are not my quotes; those are not any Republican quotes. That is the Democratic Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, Mr. Cisneros. Mr. President, I reserve the remainder of my time.”
