We think you can get a balanced budget and you can get a tax cut, ... We think both can be done this year, and we're trying to find a way to make sure that we have every opportunity to both balance the budget with smaller government, with reforms, and to have tax cuts for the American people.
This will be the first time in 70 years that Republicans kept control of the House for a third term, ... We will gain seats this evening as the evening goes on.
We will do everything we can to find the money, not just for procurement but for training, for personnel and for the necessary power projection which is at the heart of America's ability to lead the world,
We're not in a values fight now but over whether the system is working. The issue is delivery.

Assuming that 1997 is a continuation of what he (Clinton) campaigned on this year, there's no reason that we can't find common ground.
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,
