On the recordOctober 2, 1998
To conclude the dialog on Kosovo, the administration gave most Members of the Senate a briefing yesterday, but they have a lot of work to do. They have a lot of work to do if they are going to convince the Congress, if they are going to convince the American people. They have a lot of leveling with the American people as far as the expense, as far as the obligation, as far as what the next step is after the first phase. They haven't answered those questions. That is not exactly what I call ``consulting with Congress.'' Maybe we had a little dialog with the administration, but we have a lot of work to do yet.
