Political Quotes

On the recordJanuary 5, 1996
I first want to express my great respect and appreciation for the majority leader of the U.S. Senate. In the 200-plus years that this institution has been serving the public of this great Nation, I doubt if there has been a chapter with parallel and complexity and such seriousness as the one we witnessed here of recent days. The leadership exhibited by Senator Dole throughout has earned him an indelible place in the history of this institution and in that category so named as a profile in courage for what he has done. I join with Senator Dole in his expression of appreciation to the minority leader and his leadership, together with the minority whip and his leadership. I have had the privilege here of being on the floor throughout the week with the distinguished Senator from Kentucky, and while we may have had differences of views, we have tried our very best to maintain a bipartisan approach to the solution, and I think that was achieved. I also want to pay special recognition to Members of Congress from the greater Metropolitan Washington area: Congressman Davis, Congressman Gilchrest, Congressman Wolf, Congresswoman Morella.
