no one in the 21st century even, which is about to occur within another 5 years, no one is really going to remember our faces or our names or even the words that we utter here on the floor of the House. But they will remember what we did, because it will affect their lives. We represent the most prosperous nation on Earth, the freest nation on Earth, the Nation that has the most respect for human rights, for civil rights, a legislative body that people all over the world are coming to study. All these emerging democracies come over here to see how we operate. We are a model for the world, we are a model for the 20th century. We should be going into the 21st century building upon our strength and not eroding it, as this bill does.
