Political Quotes

On the recordMay 1, 1996
I will just say in closing--and I would want spread on the record--that I have spoken personally with the chairman of the Judiciary Committee in the House, Henry Hyde. He acknowledges the brutality of this and has indicated on the bill that was signed by the President last Saturday, the omnibus appropriation bill, there was this provision that was taken out in conference. That is not because of the chairman of the Judiciary Committee in the House that was taken out. He supports this issue. I hope my friend, as I know he will during the conference on this matter, will hang tough for this issue.
