On the recordSeptember 24, 1996
I would say that any Chief Executive of the United States, I would think, regardless of party, be they Republicans or Democrats, would want as two basic tools to help in his administration, or her administration, as it might be someday, the chief financial officer and the inspector general. This legislation is long overdue. It would have saved several Presidents from scandals and, hopefully, it will save future Presidents from scandals. I urge my colleagues to support this measure, which has strong support, I know, by many in both parties. I hope we would have the votes because this is good public policy, and future Presidents will thank us, not condemn us, for passing it.
