Political Quotes

On the recordApril 20, 1994
this is the fourth attempt by the other side of the aisle to offer a motion to strike after the enacting clauses--all in an attempt to delay the progress of the crime bill. It takes about 25 minutes each time, 10 minutes for debate, 15 minutes for the vote; and that is the minimum. It is a dilatory tactic, plain and simple. It is just not my patience that is beginning to wear, but I believe the American people are a little tired of these tactics as well. If you do not want a crime bill, just say you do not want it. But I think most of us want the crime bill to succeed. It's time to move on.
