Political Quotes

On the recordFebruary 22, 1994
I have known Strobe Talbott for many years. He is a friend for whom I have the very highest regard. I have always found Strobe Talbott to be a thoughtful, intelligent, and capable person. I certainly do not agree with everything that Mr. Talbott has written in Time magazine over many, many years. Nevertheless, I am confident that Mr. Talbott, if confirmed, will be responsive to U.S. interests in Europe, the Middle East, the Pacific rim, and all around the globe. In conclusion, I want to say how pleased I am that a person of Strobe Talbott's character and quality wants to enter public service today. Strobe Talbott is doing this at considerable personal financial sacrifice. He has done a good job for the President, in my opinion, and I think he will be an asset to Secretary Christopher's team at the State Department.
