Walter Mondale: “I don't want the Senate to become the House. I want it to be the unique body that it has always been.”

I really beg you not to turn the Senate into a legislative body that is very comparable to the House.

If we fail to do that, I am convinced that this committee has failed and that in another 50 years, there will be hearings just like this in which the excesses that we have uncovered will have been repeated.

There is a right way to legislate and a wrong way to legislate.

We told the truth. We obey the law. We kept the peace.
