*I WANT TO BEGIN THIS EVENING BY SAYING A WORD ABOUT MITCH MCCONNELL. *IT GOES WITHOUT SAYING THAT THIS WAS A DIFFICULT AND EMOTIONAL WEEK FOR THE SENATE.

AND NO DOUBT ABOUT IT, SERVING ON THE SENATE ETHICS COMMITTEE IS NOT AN- EASY AND PLEASANT TASK. A LOT OF PEOPLE RUN THE OTHER WAY WHEN YOU ASK THEM TO SERVE ON IT. BUT WHEN I WENT TO MITCH MCCONNELL AND ASKED HIM TO SERVE AS VICE-CHAIR, HE DIDN'T RUN THE OTHER WAY.

HE ACCEPTED THE RESPONSIBILITY, AND HE BROUGHT TO IT THE INTELLIGENCE AND INTREGRITY HE IS KNOW FOR. AND THE SENATE IS FOR THE BETTER, AND AMERICA IS FOR THE BETTER BECAUSE OF MITCH MCCONNELL'S LEADERSIHP. THIS MAY NOT HAVE BEEN A GOOD WEEK FOR THE SENATE,

BUT IT WAS A GOOD WEEK FOR THE REPUBLICAN PARTY ACROSS THE NATION. *IT WAS ONE YEAR AGO THIS WEEK WHEN PRESIDENT BUSH WAS DEFEATED, AND SOME WERE READY TO READ THE LAST RITES TO THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. *SINCE THEN, HOWEVER, THERE HAVE BEEN SIX MAJOR

ELECTIONS--SENATE SEATS IN GEORGIA AND TEXAS; MAYORAL ELECTIONS IN NEW YORK AND LOS ANGELES; AND GUBERNATORIAL ELECTIONS IN VIRGINIA AND NEW JERSEY. *ALL OF THOSE SEATS WERE HELD BY DEMOCRATS. AND ALL ARE NOW- HELD BY REPUBLICANS. *AND THERE'S SOME OTHER

SEATS THAT USED BY HELD BY DEMOCRATS AND NOW AREN'T-- AND THAT'S JUDGE-EXECUTIVE SEATS ACROSS KENTUCKY. I UNDERSTAND THAT IN LAST /-/ TUESDAY'S ELECTIONS, REPUBLICANS WENT FROM HOLDING 23 JUDGE EXECUTIVE POSITIONS TO 35 POSITIONS-- MORE THAN A 50% INCREASE--AND THOSE

*WHY IS THE REPUBLICAN PARTY ON THE MOVE IN KENTUCKY AND ACROSS AMERICA? *WELL, I THINK IT'S THE FACT THAT WE HAVE GOOD CANDIDATES AND WE HAVE THE RIGHT IDEAS. *THIS LAST TUESDAY, VOTERS IN VIRGINIA SAID GEORGE ALLEN HAD THE RIGHT IDEAS IN

Page 10 of 73 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu
RIGHT IDE ON ISSUES LIKE HEALTH CARE, EDUCATION, CRIMINAL JUSTICE REFORM, AND NATIONAL SECURITY. *THERE ARE SOME IN WASHINGTON WHO THINK WE DON'T HAVE TO DO ALL THAT ... THERE ARE SOME WHO THINK THAT IT'S GOOD ENOUGH JUST TO BE AGAINST WHAT BILL CLINTON IS FOR.
11
Page 11 of 73 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu
*I DISAGREE. I DON'T THINK THAT'S ENOUGH. *I WANT TO BE A MEMBER OF THE MAJORITY PARTY ... AND WE'VE STILL GOT A LONG WAY TO GO UNTIL THAT HAPPENS. = ---*AND WE'RE NOT GOING TO BECOME THE MAJORITY PARTY BY JUST SITTING ON THE SIDELINES. *WE'VE GOT TO GET IN DO
12
Page 12 of 73 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu
SOME HEAVY LIFTING ... WE HAVE TO LET THE AMERICAN PEOPLE KNOW WHAT WE STAND FOR ... AND THE FUNDAMENTAL DIFFERENCES IN PHILOSOPHY WE HAVE WITH THE DEMOCRAT PARTY. *AND AS WE'VE SEEN THIS YEAR, THERE ARE QUITE A FEW DIFFERENCES. *TIME AND AGAIN WE'VE SEEN
13
Page 13 of 73 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu
THAT PRESIDENT CLINTON AND THE DEMOCRATS SINCERELY AND HONESTLY BELIEVE THAT GOVERNMENT IS THE ANSWER ... THAT UNCLE SAM SHOULD TELL YOU HOW TO SPEND YOUR MONEY, HOW TO RUN YOUR BUSINESS, AND HOW TO EDUCATE YOUR CHILDREN. *AND REPUBLICANS BELIEVE THAT YOU ARE THE
14
Page 14 of 73 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu
ANSWER ... AND THAT IF WE STAY OUT OF YOUR LIVES, STAY OUT OF YOUR BUSINESS, AND STAY OUT OF YOUR POCKETBOOKS, YOU'LL MAKE THE RIGHT DECISIONS.
*AND AS YOU ALL KNOW VERY WELL, THERE'S A LITTLE HEALTH CARE DEBATE GOING ON IN WASHINGTON. NOBODY--BE THEY REPUBLICAN OR
15
Page 15 of 73 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu
DEMOCRAT--DENIES THAT PARTS OF OUR HEALTH CARE SYSTEM NEED TO BE FIXED. *BUT WHAT A LOT OF PEOPLE IN WASHINGTON FORGET IS THAT WE ALREADY HAVE THE WORLD'S BEST HEALTH CARE DELIVERY SYSTEM. THEY FORGET THAT OUR DOCTORS, OUR HOSPITALS, AND OUR RESEARCH FACILITIES ARE THE
16
Page 16 of 73 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu
ENVY OF EVERY COUNTRY. AND THEY FORGET THAT AMERICAN'S DON'T HAVE TO WAIT IN LINE TO SEE THE DOCTOR OF THEIR CHOICE. *AND THE WAY TO FIX OUR HEALTH CARE SYSTEM IS NOT TO DENY AMERICANS THE QUALITY AND CHOICE THEY HAVE COME TO EXPECT. *THE PRESIDENT AND MRS.
17
Page 17 of 73 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu
CLINTON ARE VERY SINCERE ABOUT WANTING TO FIX THE HEALTH CARE SYSTEM ... AND THEY SHOULD BE CONGRATULATED FOR PUTTING IT ON TOP ·oF AMERICA'S AGENDA. *BUT REPUBLICANS HAVE A LOT- _,,,,_,, OF ____QUESTIONS. _ QUESTIONS- LIKE WHO WINS, WHO LOSES, HOW MUCH DOES
18
Page 18 of 73 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu
IT COST, AND WHO'S GOING TO PAY FOR IT ... AND YOU KNOW THAT UNDER THE CLINTON PLAN, IT'S THE TOBACCO INDUSTRY WHO WLIL BE PAYING A GREAT DEAL. *AND ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT QUESTIONS IS 11 DO WE REALLY NEED TO PUT THE GOVERNMENT IN CHARGE OF ONE SEVENTH OF OUR

ECONOMY?" *AND WE'VE GOT A LONG ROAD AHEAD OF US UNTIL THOSE QUESTIONS ARE ANSWERED. *REPUBLICANS HAVE PUT A NUMBER OF HEALTH CARE PLANS ON THE TABLE ... AND THERE'S SOME GOOD IDEAS IN EACH OF THEM ... BUT IN THE COMING MONTHS, I THINK WE
20
Page 20 of 73 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu
NEED TO UNITE BEHIND ONE PROGRAM THAT WE CAN TAKE TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. *AND WHILE WE PROVIDE HEALTH CARE SECURITY, WE ALSO HAVE TO PROVIDE SOME SECURITY !.ti OUR STREETS. *YOU CAN TAKE A POLL ANYWHERE IN THE UNITED STATES, AND YOU'LL FIND THAT THE NUMBER ONE CONCERN OF

AMERICANS IS CRIME. *AND WE'VE JUST STARTED TO DEBATE A CRIME BILL ON THE FLOOR OF THE SENATE ... AND REPUBLICANS ARE GOING TO BE ADVANCING SOME IDEAS ... IDEAS LIKE REGIONAL PRISONS ... WE'VE DISCOVERED THAT IF WE LOCK CRIMINALS UP IN PRISON, THEY DON'T GO OUT IN COMMIT MORE
22
Page 22 of 73 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu
CRIMES, SO WE NEED MORE PRISON SPACE. *AND WE'VE ALSO DISCOVERED THAT IF YOU SENTENCE SOMEBODY TO 15 YEARS IN PRISON, AND LET THEM OUT AFTER FIVE, THAT THEY'RE LIKELY TO GO OUT AND COMMIT MORE CRIMES. *SO, WE'RE TELLING THE STATES THAT IF THEY WANT TO

PUT THEIR PRISONERS IN OUR REGIONAL PRISONS, THEN THEY'LL HAVE TO ADOPT 11TRUTH IN SENTENCING. 11 *THAT MEANS WHEN A JUDGE SENTENCES A CRIMINAL TO 15 YEARS, HE'LL DO EVERY DAY. NO PAROLE. NO PROBATION. NO KIDDING. *LET ME FINISH BY SAYING THAT ALONG WITH GOOD

HUSBAND CONVICTED OF EXTORTION, TAX FRAUD Dr. Bill Collins, husband of ex-Gov. Martha Layne Collins (D), was convicted 10/14 of "extorting nearly" $1.7 million in connection with the "aggressive and sophisticated fund-raising campaign that he ran to elect his wife." The verdict "deeply stains the legacy" of Martha Layne Collins "and shatters any hope she may have had for a political comeback." Prosecutors contended that Dr. Collins "used his influence" during his wife's admin. to "steer, nearly" $1.7 billion in bond sale contracts. Bill Collins was "charged with extorting some $1.7 million in political contributions or investments in his thoroughbred horse partnerships from executives of two out-of-state bond- underwriting firms in exchange for state business. He also was accused of disguising the illegal payments, for tax purposes, as legal political contributions and investments." Bill Collins faces a maximum sentence of 25 years in prison and a $500,000 fine (Wilson/Schaver, Louisville COURIER-JOURNAL, 10/15) . . ~.

A Louisville COURIER-JOURNAL poll, conducted 3/17-23, surveyed 801 registered voters; margin of error+/- 3.5% (3/30). Tested: Gov. Brereton Jones (D). JONES APPROVAL JONES' HANDLING OF HEALTH CARE Strongly approve 11% Strongly approve 13% Somewhat approve 53 Somewhat approve 32 Somewhat disapprove 16 Somewhat disapprove 15 Strongly disapprove 8 strongly disapprove 18 Jones called his approval ratings "excellent" because "I've taken on what I believe is the toughest issue [health care] ... and the strongest lobby." Because the poll "was about his handling" of health care "and did not mention his plan," Jones said he is "not sure the phrasing ... allows us to gain much knowledge" from the results. Jones "scored worst" on his job rating in the 1st and 2nd CD in Northern KY; he "fared best" in the 3rd CD. He got his "strongest approval" from "those for whom health care is likely to be more important" -- people 50+ and those earning $15,000 or less (Cross, COURIER-JOURNAL, 3/30). WILKINSON: Cross looks back on the conviction of ex-Gov. aide Bruce Wilkinson (see HOTLINE 3/24). Wilkinson testified that he had "rebuffed lobbyist-turned-informer" Jay Spurrier's attempts to set up a meeting between Spurrier and Wilkinson's uncle, ex-Gov. Wallace Wilkinson (D). Cross: "This wasn't the first time a relative in Uncle's office has been convicted of a federal crime .... Still, it's too early to scratch from 1995's winter book a man who set new standards for audacity by running his wife ... to succeed him." Sec/State Bob Babbage (D): "Wallace has a strong base of support that will probably last for years to come.
