Political Quotes

“there are unconfirmed intelligence reports that Boris Yeltsin is seriously ill, he is drinking heavily, and he is really not in control of anything over there in Russia. These reports suggest that if we are predicating reform in Russia on the back of Boris Yeltsin, we may be in for some deep trouble. They say that this most recent spy revelation is not just a rogue element, and Congress should not dispel this recent event very casually. The truth of the matter, they say, is that the bear is still there, and before we in Congress fall on our swords and continue to provide more taxpayer money to Russia and Boris Yeltsin, we may not be necessarily helping to secure the sovereignty and the national security of the United States of America. I would suggest to the Congress that not one more nickel go to Russia until we find out, No. 1, who is really running Russia, and how many of these cold warriors in the KGB are still running around bribing our people.”
