I think he will. I think we're very close to having the votes to break filibuster, and I think a filibuster would be wrong. He's a good man. He cleared the committee; he was treated fairly, in a bipartisan way. He had all those kids from Tennessee from those housing projects come up and say, ``Here's a guy that told us to abstain from premature sex, to stay off drugs, to be good people.'' That's the message we need going out to America's children. Mr. King. Is Senator Dole going to bring it to the floor? The Vice President. I hope he will. Nobody in America is better qualified to lead a crusade against this epidemic of teen pregnancy. Mr. King. And you think they'll override a Gramm filibuster if it comes to the floor?
