On the recordOctober 28, 1999
In closing our dialog, I have confidence in the sense the Senator has, that this will all come out. I hope the Senator is right. My concern is--based upon what Senator Daschle a few minutes ago, when he said they have put in the landfill, the graveyard, campaign finance reform--money can sure confuse a lot of things. When they are spending millions and millions of dollars on these false and misleading ads, I hope we can right the ship. We need to speak out. I again tell the Senator from California how much respect I have for her for standing up, always, for what she thinks is right.
