George Bush actually said...

"I appreciate the efforts of the conferees to clarify the intent of the legislation in a joint letter that was sent to Secretary Sullivan."

"This provision must be interpreted as mandating that the Secretary conduct full and detailed consultation with representatives of interested and expert private groups."

"I intend, of course, to construe any constitutionally doubtful provisions in accordance with the requirements of the Constitution."

"I believe that several provisions warrant careful construction to avoid constitutional concerns."
