Political Quotes

On the recordMarch 3, 1995
I have been counseling with him some several weeks now on this subject, and I would like the Senate to know how much time the distinguished Senator from Utah has devoted to independent analysis and research of this subject. I, too, from the very beginning was deeply concerned with the propriety and the manner in which the United States addressed this issue. To date, I have not been able to ascertain enough facts to enable this Senator to reach a final conclusion. However, I am concerned that the actions that our Government has taken will benefit many people who were involved in this transaction from the beginning for purpose of making unusual profits as a consequence of the high interest rates involved. I also regret that Congress did not become more involved, that time was not permitted to allow hearings so that we could have had a better understanding of the facts. I firmly believe that Congress should have participated in making the decision on this important matter.
