Pete Domenici: “I thank the Senator. I say to those who want to make sure the supplemental not only passes but is signed, the Senator…”

On the recordJuly 11, 2002
I thank the Senator. I say to those who want to make sure the supplemental not only passes but is signed, the Senator from New Mexico is on their side. I am with them. I am certainly not going to do anything to delay that, although it does seem strange to this Senator, an urgent supplemental, which is intended for urgent supplemental needs, would have to be isolated from this need because some kind of arrangement has been made. The arrangement comes very late, but it is an effort to get the bill done and to get the important parties to agree. I yield the floor.
