As you know, I have spent most of my adult life
serving the people of Virginia to the best of my
capabilities. For 18 years I served in the Senate of
Virginia. I am now in my fifth year in the Senate of the
United States.
During the past four sessions of the Congress, I have cast more than 1,000 recorded votes. My votes, my speeches, my views are a matter of record This is available to all.
I cannot change that record. I would not change it if I could. 1 realize that no one will agree with every vote, but in each of them I have voted my convictions.
I have fought for the programs of the President — Democrat or Republican — when I thought he was right. I have fought against the programs of the President — Democrat or Republican — when I thought he was wrong.
