On the recordSeptember 10, 1998

I want to focus our attention on the bankruptcy bill itself. I hope we can make some progress on that this afternoon or tonight and that we will go forward with the substance. I understand Senator Grassley and Senator Durbin will be coming over to, in effect, do their opening statements which they didn't really get to do last Thursday night. We will let them begin the bankruptcy bill while we see if we can work something out. It is my hope that we can work out an agreement, and we can vitiate that cloture vote tomorrow. But we do need to get something worked out so we won't have to go to cloture, because I think if we do have another cloture vote and it doesn't prevail, we really have to go on.
