“I have enjoyed hearing two great Senators tonight, Senator John Warner, who chairs our Armed Services Committee, and Senator Carl Levin, who is the ranking member on that committee. They are able patriots who are skilled advocates and who do a great job of presenting their viewpoints. I have always said about Senator Levin that if I were in trouble, I would want him to defend me. I think we have a foreign policy situation that is in trouble, and he does a good job of defending it. It is more than a legal question, however. It is a question of policy. It is a question of the commitment of American troops. It is a question of the wealth of the United States being committed to this area of the world. I do believe our troops are doing a great job. Last year, I had the privilege, within 10 days of the end of the bombing in Kosovo, to travel there with Senator Levin and two other Senators. We toured that area. I returned there, not too many weeks ago, for my second visit at Easter time. We had the privilege of meeting with troops and touring the area and celebrating Easter Sunrise Services with our troops there. Our soldiers--men and women--are extraordinarily skilled. They are doing a great job for our country. They do what we ask of them. They have good morale.”
