Political Quotes

“The majority leader understands how important this is to the Senator from Pennsylvania. I am a member of the subcommittee he chaired and of which he is now the ranking member. He has held a number of extremely interesting hearings on this subject and has really perked everyone's interest in the Senate on this issue. Senator Brownback feels just as fervently, and I think it is extremely appropriate, as does the majority leader, that there be a discussion on this issue, as indicated by the Senator from Pennsylvania. I know the Senator from Pennsylvania, with Senator Harkin, will hold a number of hearings on this prior to that date. I look forward to the discussion. I think it is really good these two fine Senators worked out this arrangement because I think everyone needs more knowledge. This is a new area, a new field of science, at least for most of us. I think with the passage of a few months we will be in much better shape to listen intelligently, and perhaps a number of us will be able to join in the debate.”
