President Bill Clinton said that senators of both parties took a “brave and promising step” to bring the “long, hard wait” for a crime bill closer to an end. The President saluted the Republican and Democratic senators for putting “law and order, safety and security above politics and party.” He said he hoped the bill would now “rapidly pass” the Senate.
