Political Quotes

On the recordSeptember 26, 2002
I want printed in the Record this statement from this e-mail, the title of which is ``Urgent: Effectively defending our homeland at stake.'' This was sent out today. It quotes the President of the United States, George W. Bush. It says: The House responded, but the Senate is more interested in special interests in Washington and not interested in the security of the American people. That is a quote, supposedly, that the Republican National Committee sent out quoting President Bush. It goes on further in another paragraph to say: This bipartisan approach is stalled in the Senate because some Senate Democrats have chosen to put special interest, federal government employee unions over the security of the American people. I want that in the Record.

Never in the history of the country, never in the history of the country have we produced more for a president and somebody that’s led his party than we’ve done together.

Well, I think Joe Biden has done what needs to be done in this country. We are so far behind and roads, bridges, dams, water systems, sewer systems. And every dollar we spend on getting infrastructure is a correction toward cleaner America.
