On the recordJanuary 3, 1996
I want to make one point that he made so well and add to it; that we talk about the freshmen who are standing in the corner like children, holding their breath and saying if we do not do it their way, it is no way. But I think we also have to put the blame on the so-called moderate Republicans. After all, the Democrats passed a resolution in our conference; that we wanted to pass a clean CR that would support the bipartisan resolution passed in the Senate to open up the Government. So we have to hold them responsible, because we have 198 votes; is that not correct?
