On the recordDecember 19, 2001
The fact is, the farm bill came very late in this session because we have been very involved with a lot of important legislation dealing with 9-11. My support for cloture, and the reason I urge my colleague to support it, is because we are running out of time. While there are legitimate amendments and there are important amendments, I think we had too much finger pointing, too much of Democrats saying Republicans are filibustering. Frankly, some of us question the motives on the other side. We are running out of time.
