Political Quotes

On the recordMarch 22, 1994
Personally, I do not think that it is fair to apply a consumer provision to one small group of banks. If something is a good idea in terms of consumer provisions, it ought to be applied to all banks. Personally, I see this legislation as in the interest of consumers. This is a branch opening bill. This will provide more services to the American people. So when we are talking about doing something that will limit interstate branching, I personally do not think that it is in the public interest.
