For the Record

■ President Clinton, on Nov. 3 elections: “Our crowd is about to defy history. Our crowd is about to show that they don’t want to be manipulated. Our crowd is about to say we’ve seen the last six years and we like it.” . . . Fox News poll: 60 per cent believe Clinton would lie again; 52 per cent think if Clinton-Lewinsky scandal were a soap opera, it would be cancelled. . . . Clinton, as House approves impeachment inquiry in bipartisan vote: “It is not in my hands. It is in the hands of Congress and the people of this country— ultimately in the hands of God.” . . . Hillary Clinton goes to Bulgaria for 23rd wedding anniversary—first time the first couple has spent special day apart since moving into White House.

■ Rep. Mark Sanford (R., S.C.) on budget deal, in Washington Post: “I remember reading all about these Christmas-tree bills before I came to Congress and being disgusted.” . . . Rep. Barney Frank (D., Mass.): “People who voted Republican [in 1994] could probably bring a bait-and-switch suit against the GOP for pork barreling.” . . . Ron Utt of Heritage Foundation: “This was a tour de force for the President.” . . .
