On the recordSeptember 16, 1996
I join him in commending the distinguished Senator from Montana for his remarks. Our former colleague has proposed a very important new plan to deal with what has to be the most serious challenge that our governments-- Federal, State, and local--face today, the epidemic of crime and violence in our society. This plan has meat to it. It has substance to it. It is thoughtful. If we will embrace it and join Bob Dole in seeing that it is enacted and administered in the way it is proposed, I think we will get results. It is time we turned the country around, turned the country around from ever-increasing drug abuse and violent crime to an era when people assume responsibilities for their own actions and they are held accountable for their own actions, whatever their age, and that they are treated in a way that deters action in the future that is a menace to innocent society members.
