I want to clarify a point. As author of this legislation and as a member of the Commerce Committee where this legislation originated--I am a member of that committee--does the Senator object to having banking representation as a part of this conference? I note that the House bill has several provisions that are clearly banking-type provisions. Does the Senator see a problem with that?

When Strom Thurmond ran for president, we voted for him. We`re proud of him. And if the rest of the country had followed our lead, we wouldn`t have had all these problems over all these years either.
Quit campaigning, quit having press conferences, sit down at a round table and negotiate a deal.
I was accused of being a compromiser or a deal-maker. I didn't know those were dirty words.
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.
