On the recordMarch 2, 1995
Just to point out that one of the reasons people oppose this is, they say the American public can not be in support of this. Let me point out, Nations Business magazine just did a poll.

Ninety-two percent of Americans responding in that poll said yes. We ought to say yes today.
