Trent Lott: “I commend Senator Baucus and Senator Grassley for their work. A lot of people have been involved and it was the right…”

On the recordMay 23, 2002
I commend Senator Baucus and Senator Grassley for their work. A lot of people have been involved and it was the right thing to do. The proof of that is the vote of 66 to 30. A lot of people would have thought 10 days ago that we could not get it done. We have a few barnacles, I am sure, that will be sheared off in conference, and a good bill will come out of conference. I commend the managers for doing good work. This is an urgent supplemental for defense to replace a lot of what has already been spent, and also for homeland security. I was concerned that if we could not get it worked out today or tomorrow, if we came back, other issues might intervene.
