Political Quotes

“not knowing what will happen tonight with the President's statement, as the deadline is reached for Saddam Hussein--and I have been working with the Democratic leader--we have a resolution of support and are working through the language that is most appropriate. We will do that over the course of today. Again, I want to be very careful not to anticipate an outcome which is not quite there, but if military action is begun, we would very soon introduce that resolution and give Senators the opportunity to speak. I think we all recognize that if military action is undertaken, although we hope and pray that things will be very shortlived, we do want to make sure Senators have the opportunity to express their support for our troops and for this President, if this engagement begins. So that is underway. We will address that over the course of the day. I do want to make it clear to our colleagues that we will be here this week until we finish the budget.”
