On the recordJanuary 5, 1996
Capital crisis, shutdown II, day 21, and we are looking for just 21 responsible Republicans, just 21 Republicans who have the common sense and courage to put country above party conference, just 21 Republicans who have the heart to help moms and dads and families in distress, just 21 Republicans who will have the honesty to recognize the destructiveness of the course set by the Republican leadership driven by its most extreme faction, just 21 Republicans who can publicly act on the convictions they have privately acknowledged. Are there not just 21 Republicans in the House of Representatives who will follow the leadership of Senator Dole, who aspires to lead the country? What mob psychology prevails to prevent just 21 Republicans from doing what is right, just 21 Republicans to say, with Bob Dole, enough is enough?
