Pete Domenici

So, um-

Well, you, you remember the days when, uh, we had, uh, Senator Pete Domenici, and he would cross the aisle-

Yeah

... and work with Senator, uh, Jeff Bingaman.

Uh, but we don't have an agreement.

Uh, the, the first thing that'll happen tomorrow morning will be a meeting with, uh, the Chief of Staff, Leon Panetta, with John Kasich, Pete Domenici, and I assume Alice Rivlin too, probably.

See if they can find, uh, some formula.

But, uh, we're gonna try to meet again tomorrow, and I'll turn it over to Newt.

Senator Ted Stevens, Republican from Arkansas, described the prospect of waging an undeclared aggressive war upon Yugoslavia as, quote, a precedent I don't want to be involved in, end quote.

Even more pointed were the comments of Senator Pete Domenici, Republican, New Mexico.

Quote, I say shame on the president, end quote, declared Domenici, momentarily forgetting that Bill Clinton has repeatedly demonstrated that he is incapable of shame.

Quote, if this is such an important matter, why couldn't the president trust the United States Senate and United States House and ask us whether we concur, end quote.

He indicated that there were some complaints by some citizens, so I said, okay, and he says, here's the senator.

He handed the phone over, and I recognized the voice as being Senator Pete Domenici.

And he wanted to ask me about the corruption matters or the corruption cases that had been widely reported in the local media.

I said, all right.

So David, Nick, go ahead.

absolutely so captain iglesias sitting here now hearing your own testimony played back what stands out to you the most i

think what stands out to me is i shouldn't have even said what i did but i mean i was i felt uh looking back i was really uh bushwhacked so to speak and this is not i mean this is this is not any version of george elvia bush but that's the best word i can think of i was absolutely thunderstruck by the fact that Pete Domenici, the guy that helped me get my appointment, would call me and ask me such a direct question.

And I tried to finesse it, but as I hear that, that wasn't much of a finesse because I don't think so is still an answer.
