Political Quotes

On the recordSeptember 10, 1998
I rise this evening to take some time to discuss a major crisis that this country is going to have to deal with. And I know the topic of discussion all across America tonight is the delivery of the report by Kenneth Starr involving potential allegations against the President of the United States. But I am not here to discuss that, Mr. Speaker. Actually, I am here to discuss another issue that is simmering and potentially could cause not just problems internationally, but severe problems here in America as well, and that is the status of conditions in Russia and actions that this body is going to have to take involving the Russian people and the Government of Russia before the end of this month, before we adjourn. Mr. Speaker, this past Tuesday evening I returned from what I believe is my sixteenth visit to Russia during the course of my lifetime of interest in Russia, the country and its people.
