On the recordJanuary 3, 1996
The question came, why do not we let this go, why do not we let the next election be the referendum on this, and I would respectfully suggest that again that is a postponement of what was decided in November of 1994, and we affirmed last month in a special election in California. We are certainly in this representative form of Government in this republic to make those decisions, not to go, to use the metaphor that I used in my previous life and have been in another walk of life, to go into a 4-corners offense and delay and delay and delay the work that should be done now.
