| | Basie!: Basie! Interview with Bob Dole (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22) |
 | | During his five terms in the Senate, Dole served as RNC Chairman from 1971-2, Republican Vice Presidential Candidate in 1976, member of the National Commission on Social Security Reform in 1983, Chairman of the Finance Committee from 1981-5, Majority Leader from 1985-7, Minority Leader from 1987-95, and Majority Leader again from 1995-6. |
 | | Dole: I’d be sitting with whoever it is – Harry Reid, or whoever he designated – and I would… the seat of your pants gets kind of hard, but I would sit there and sit there and look at every possible alternative before you start tinkering with the rules. |
 | | Dole: I’m just guessing, because I don’t have any idea what the legislation might look like, but I think with all of the pressure on the budget, I think the members would be hard pressed not to recoup a substantial amount of that. |
