On the recordJuly 16, 2002
I was stunned, startled, and surprised by the Senator from Massachusetts who, upon--and I understand that he was in a conversation and probably didn't hear the Senator from Michigan ask me. But had he heard the Senator from Michigan ask me, I am sure he would have said that is a reasonable response to the Senator from Michigan, I agree with it, and we should move to a vote. I am also surprised that someone on the other side of the aisle is objecting to proceeding to the issue without a vote. If that is the case, that is the case; so be it; let us have the vote tomorrow. But if you want to proceed to the issue right now, I am perfectly willing to do that without a vote.
