                 CLINTON ADMINISTRATION'S CASE FOR WAR

  (Mr. FOLEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. FOLEY. Mr. Speaker, let me give Members the following quotes: 
``Sometimes the United States has to act alone, or at least has to act 
first. Sometimes we cannot let other countries have a veto on our 
foreign policy.'' That is a debate quote spoken by President Clinton.
  Madeleine Albright: ``I am going to explain our position, and while 
we always prefer to act multilaterally, we are prepared to go 
unilaterally.''
  President Clinton: ``Would the Iraqi people be better off if there 
was a change in leadership? I certainly think they would be.''
  In the last couple of days, we have heard a lot of people questioning 
the President's veracity. Let us talk about the successes: Libya is 
cooperating and disarming; Charles Taylor has been forced out of 
Liberia; India and Pakistan are talking about Kashmir and reducing 
tensions; and as Senator Lieberman said, ``Saddam Hussein was a walking 
weapon of mass destruction.''
  Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the leadership of this President. I am 
proud of standing with him and our military as they combat terror and 
tyranny around the globe. Shame on the Democrats for suggesting that 
the President is not truthful.
