Trent Lott: “I personally think the 60-day extension is the way to go and that is why I supported the 60-day extension before we went…”

On the recordSeptember 10, 1999
I personally think the 60-day extension is the way to go and that is why I supported the 60-day extension before we went out. We had not been able to resolve the scheduling problems or resolve the substance of the issues, and while we were doing that, I thought the responsible thing to do was the 60-day extension, and I will continue to advance the need for that. Unfortunately, the House didn't agree with that and they took our 60-day extension and attached their bill to it and sent it back, which, in effect, meant that we did not have the extension because this was the final couple of days of the July recess. There are disagreements on how to resolve the FAA reauthorization.

A lot of it is because Republicans when they start talking don't talk about education. You have to talk about it. You have to go there, where they are.

My recommendation to the Congress and to the president would be, quit campaigning, quit having press conferences. Sit down at a round table and negotiate a deal.

First of all, there's going to be an election and the numbers will be different come this fall. And you're going to need leadership from the President and from the leaders in the Congress.
