On the recordMarch 3, 1995
I had the honor earlier this morning of announcing that Senator Ben Nighthorse Campbell, of Colorado, would be joining the Republican ranks in the Senate. And, again, I want to extend a welcome to him and say how proud I am of him for his conviction and his courage. I am satisfied that his voting pattern will remain the same. He has things he feels very strongly about. He does worry about where we are headed with deficit spending in this country. He is concerned about the Federal Government's abuse of public lands. He is concerned about private property rights. He has an outstanding record, one that I have observed for, I guess, 10 years now, having served in the House of Representatives with him back in the midsixties and now having watched him in the Senate for the past 2 years. He is going to be an outstanding addition to the party. It is an honor to the Republican Party to have him join us.
