Political Quotes

On the recordApril 12, 1994
I acknowledge the win by the distinguished colleague from Arkansas but in a way Virginia won because there is a magnificent addition to a park that has been in existence for many years, preserving the history of the first and second battlefields of Manassas, and while in the early 1980's I was successful in persuading the Senate to add a large section to it, it was the legislation that the Senator from Arkansas and I worked on that made a third important addition to that historic park, and I would hope that we would have a similar, although less contentious this time, debate on this matter.
