Famous quotes containing the words major and/or legislation:

    That is my major preoccupation—memory, the kingdom of memory. I want to protect and enrich that kingdom, glorify that kingdom and serve it.
    Elie Wiesel (b. 1928)

    There were two unpleasant surprises [about Washington]. One was the inertia of Congress, the length of time it takes to get a complicated piece of legislation through ... and the other was the irresponsibility of the press.
    Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
