James Longley: “I think that the strong note that is important that the public…”

On the recordFebruary 2, 1995

I think that the strong note that is important that the public understands and the Members of this House understand is the very strong bipartisan commitment, not only in the other pieces of legislation that have been proceeding through this House in the last 3 weeks, but we have had strong cores in each party who have been aggressively working together to try to address issues of concern to the national interest. As we move through the next several weeks, particularly as we hear more about the National Security Revitalization Act, I think that the public is going to recognize the strong bipartisan, nonpartisan commitment to defending this great country against the threats that she faces as we move into the future.
