The statute of limitations has long since passed on my youthful indiscretions, ... Suffice it to say, Cherie Snodgrass and I were good friends a long, long time ago. After Mr. Snodgrass confronted my wife, the friendship ended and my marriage remained intact.
The Senate shouldn't tell us how to try our case,
I do not understand how these statements could be made with Congress having yet to be fully consulted ... Indian authorities know more about this important proposal than we in Congress,
But it would be wonderful if we could,
I would call them hostages. They're being held against their will,
I would call them hostages. They are being held against their will, and five days is a rather long time, especially if you're the one being held in detention.
I wish to commend you for your vigorous defense of American values, including democracy and human rights, and for holding to account those who would threaten America's economic security through the systematic counterfeiting of our national currency.
Let me be clear about this, ... We are not here today to decide whether or not to impeach Mr. Clinton. We are not here to pass judgment on anyone. We are here to ask and answer this one simple question: based upon what we now know, do we have a duty to look further, or to look away?

as we enact these reforms, we must exercise some care in avoiding unforeseen consequences.
It's an interesting proposal, ... It's something new.
