On the recordSeptember 3, 1998
I have come before the Senate and I don't disagree with a single word that the Senator from Connecticut has said. I have praised, as I heard the distinguished Senator from Connecticut do, the President's numerous accomplishments. And they are numerous. I do not question his patriotism. I do not question his instinct for service. I have praised his job as Commander in Chief and have said to the country that there is no better example than Bill Clinton that a civilian with no military service can be our Commander in Chief and can learn as he did, the hard way in Somalia. There are tremendous responsibilities that come with that job; and he has listened to the men and women who serve our country. He has been an exceptional Commander in Chief. I praised him on a number of other occasions where he has performed in a remarkably generous and good-hearted way.
