Don Young: “Again, this is our opportunity, as we close this debate to thank everybody participating in the debate for their decorum…”

On the recordMarch 4, 1998
Again, this is our opportunity, as we close this debate to thank everybody participating in the debate for their decorum and their honesty and their strong beliefs.

And as we stop this great century and begin a new century, the right thing to do for the Americans of Puerto Rico and the great United States of America.
