Trent Lott: “Under this agreement, it specifies two, but I see no reason why we cannot do more if it can be worked out.”

Would you at the very least sit down with him and listen to him?

I was always a conservative Republican and I had very strong beliefs about certain things we should or should not do. But also thought that I was sent to Washington by the people of my state not to make a statement but to make a difference…

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.
