On the recordApril 25, 2002
In my 30 seconds, I emphasize the point that this amendment is a significant step toward freeing the United States from dependence on OPEC oil. The front page of today's New York Times contains a statement by the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia that, if necessary, to blackmail the United States to change our policy toward Israel, Saudi Arabia is prepared to move to the right of bin Laden. Saudi Arabia gave us bin Laden, and 15 of the 19 terrorists from 9-11. Vote for this amendment.
