On the recordJanuary 25, 1991
Well, many Presidents have given the State of the Union message by post office--messengers, sent it up there. And I don't know that any of them have been done from the White House. But if I-- when I go to the Capitol--put it that way--I will have total confidence in the security apparatus in this country. It doesn't bother me one single bit. And I know this man has sponsored terrorism, and we continue to be safeguarding in every way we can against it. But the Capitol of the United States will be secure, and the people that are there will be safe. And so, it just doesn't worry me, Sarah. Maybe it should. I'm not a fatalist, exactly, about this because I think we are doing things to keep the people's Capitol secure.
