Political Quotes

“In summary, Madam President, I think it is a day for complimenting the participants, but a day also to be wary as to what the future will hold. I compliment President Clinton and Secretary of State Christopher for their contribution. The Congress has been enormously supportive of the peace process in the Mideast since the signing of the Camp David Accord. We have been very supportive of Egypt and the outstanding contribution made by President Mubarak of Egypt. I think it is up to the United States to monitor what happens very, very closely, and the group which has been organized in the House is on the right path. We will organize a similar group in the Senate. We will also put the PLO on notice that we expect the terrorism not to continue; we expect them to do everything in their power to stop it; and that our willingness to make a financial commitment depends upon complying with the terms of the agreement. Similarly, there are those in Israel, extremists who are dissatisfied with what has happened. I know Prime Minister Rabin has taken very firm steps to see to it that there is not violence by the Israelis to undercut the stability which this new peace accord will bring. So it is a happy occasion, but it is also an occasion where we have to be wary for what the future may bring.”
