My Faith In The Constitution Is Whole,

The Arts, Instead Of Quaking Along The Periphery Of Our Policy Concerns, Must Push Boldly Into The Core Of Policy. The Arts Are A Response To Our Individuality And Our Nature And Help To Shape Our Identity. The Arts Are Not A Frill And Should Not Be Treated As Such. They Have The Potential To Become The Driving Force For Healing Division And Divisiveness.

The Commission Endorses Prevention As The Principal Strategy To Use In Deterring Illegal Entries. We Applaud The Efforts Of Innovative Border Patrol Leaders Such As Silvestre Reyes With Operation Hold The Line In El Paso. Operation Hold The Line Demonstrated That A Strategic Use Of Personnel And Technology Can Combine At Our Land Border, As It Has For Many Years At Our Airports, To Reduce Unauthorized Crossings.

Justice Of Right Is Always To Take Precedence Over Might.

It Is Reason, And Not Passion, Which Must Guide Our Deliberations, Guide Our Debate, And Guide Our Decision.

If We Promise As Public Officials, We Must Deliver. If We As Public Officials Propose, We Must Produce.
