Trent Lott: “This amendment would be voted on, if a vote is required, at 10:30 tomorrow morning in the stacked sequence.”

We are going to start doing things a little differently. We are going to go back and do some of the things that worked.

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.

I think if they would go back to the old way of getting things done, carefully and systematically, would really help them.

I was accused of being a compromiser or a deal-maker. I didn't know those were dirty words.
