On the recordMarch 2, 1994
May I just thank the Senator, because we can solve this, and if he keeps at it we will. I just hope that when May comes we have the head of an independent Social Security Administration saying we are going to take this on, do it. We want people to feel good about this system. It is one of our real achievements, and we do not want people going around: ``Why are they doing this? Why aren't they paying me?'' No, sir. The Senator shall have this hearing, and we will get this thing done. I thank the Senator very much for bringing it up.
