I'm very concerned about what's happening at this time. I'm a Republican who believes we cannot spend too much on education.

I harbor no animosity with anyone there. But I hold lawyers to a higher standard, and I think I've been fair to both sides.

The hearings are designed to be open to those who are not attorneys. I've assured him he will be forwarded all the courtesies and that he won't be held to the same standards as an attorney would.

It is a very high burden of proof that we have to meet.

It's been fascinating to watch the Republican response to Al Gore's selection of me, ... Because, honestly, the areas where I agree with George Bush are so much the exception and not the rule.

The only successful formula for a New Jersey Republican is to run a moderate campaign like Kean and Whitman.
