Political Quotes

“today I would like to share some thoughts on my experience of cohosting an educational forum on health care last month with the Center for Strategic and International Studies [CSIS]. CSIS is a very well-known think tank in town that in the past has primarily focused on international and foreign affairs-type issues. I have worked with this marvelous organization on various projects since I entered the Senate in 1978. They worked with me as I became engrossed in immigration reform, and I continue to work with them as a board member for their Strengthening of America Program. The Strengthening of America Program, cochaired by my friends and colleagues Senators Nunn and Domenici is the Center's domestic economic policy research and analysis program. Its mission is to analyze the economic impact of policies, which affect U.S. economic growth. The program launched its health care reform series to educate the public and private sectors about the economic consequences of health care reform. The health care forum, which I cohosted in Cheyenne, WY, marked the first in a four State health care reform series made possible with grants from the Houston Endowment and Carnegie Corporation of New York. These types of health care forums are so important as we begin the debate over health care reform in Congress.”
