On the recordApril 15, 1997
One, we can reach this consensus in Congress on areas that there is great unanimity on, on which there is a great national interest on. In fact, tomorrow we have what we call suspension votes in this Congress, in which you have to have a two-thirds vote to suspend the rules and pass the legislation. We do this routinely. Tomorrow I believe we have 4 or 5 votes under the suspension calendar which will require a two-thirds vote, and we are going to do it. We are going to reach that level. And so I am confident that this Congress, working together, if there was exigent circumstances that we had to increase the revenues of our country for a multitude of purposes, that we could do it in a bipartisan fashion and get the job done.
