On the recordAugust 1, 1996
I begin by expressing my sincere thanks and appreciation to the managers of the bill, particularly to my good friend, the Budget Committee chairman, the Senator from New Mexico, Senator Domenici. The fact that we have this measure before us today reflects not only all the practice we have had in passing welfare bills but reflects the great skill, the compassion, and the wisdom that he has exercised throughout this process. I think all of us are deeply indebted to the tremendous skill he has shown in keeping us on track to bring us to this day.
