Thank you, New Jersey. Thank you, Chris. You know, everyplace I go, you see these signs that say, ``Clean House!'' If we had more Congressmen like Chris Smith, we wouldn't be saying, ``Clean House!'' And I want to salute not only Chris but Governor Tom Kean. What a great job he did for this wonderful State. I want to thank the Mayor, Rosemary Pramuck, and everybody else who's done a superb job on this rally. May I say that I am proud to share this stage with Joe Cicippio back here, a true American hero. Great courage, you talk about courage and stick with--my heavens, that man has shown us all an awful lot. And we learn from that kind of courage in this country. I want to thank him for his perseverance. And I am proud that our policy of not negotiating has freed all the American hostages. Well, I can hardly believe it, but 12 days from today, the fate of this country and, indeed, of the free world is in your hands. And I ask for your support for 4 more years to lead this Nation. It's going to spell out---- Audience members. Four more years! Four more years! Four more years!

I think we all need answers. Whether or not this special prosecutor's the right way to go tonight, you're talking to the wrong guy. I have great faith and Richard Burr for example, he's the head of the Senate Intelligence Committee, really…
