Political Quotes

“I want to be clear as to what the record of the Senator from New York in this area is. Back in March 1992, we had an amendment to extend the statute of limitations. And the Senator from New York voted wrong--March 1992, he voted wrong. Now, the Senator from New York was up for election in November 1992. And by that time he had been converted. At that time he voted right, to extend the statute of limitations. Then in September 1992 in a second vote on a question of extending the statute of limitations, the Senator from New York, again prior to the election, voted right. Then, he was elected and after that, in May 1993, the issue again returned to the floor and, surprise of surprises, this time the Senator voted wrong. He voted and refused to extend the statute of limitations. So I think maybe I have a chance of getting him to join me. Because in two of those occasions he voted the right way, two he did not. I have a chance of getting him to join me in extending the statute of limitations even at this late date. And as I previously said, I will have a draft of a bill to him very shortly.”
