We're going to try to find everything we can to get the bill signed, and I have every reason to believe they'll be signed,
We're talking with the administration, ... It seems to me possible that there could be an administration agreement to get to a balanced budget deal in the next couple of weeks.
We need to get the job done now, and I don't think anybody is better prepared to do that psychologically and otherwise than Rudy Giuliani,
We've had a bad three months, so it's a dangerous period for us, ... We have to change or we run the risk of defeat.
We have every reason to believe that this terrorist organization will try to hurt other Americans,
between those who would keep taxes higher on taxpayers to transfer the money to welfare recipients, and those of us who believe that after 16 years, it is actually time to have a bill dedicated to helping taxpayers and to giving mothers and fathers more take-home pay and resources to take care of their children.

We've reached many tentative possible agreements, none of which count until we've finished up the whole thing,
We thank the president for wishing to continue the dialogue on race last weekend, but frankly, there has been much talk on this issue and very little action of the sort which will dramatically change people's lives,
