“Well, the budget cannot be filibustered. So in a literal sense, you know, we could pass it without any Republican votes. What I hope is that to show that by a combination of budget cuts and tax increases and the things that have been done to make this program even more attractive. We've got a lot of business people for this program now, a lot of them--that we ought to get some Republican support. But that's a political decision that a lot of those folks are going to make. I can tell you that one member of the Ways and Means Committee told me yesterday that a Republican member said to him as they were dealing with this, said, ``Boy, there's a lot of wonderful stuff in this bill. I didn't know all this stuff was in this bill. This is wonderful.'' He said, ``Well, why don't you vote for it?'' He said, ``No, we've got to be against taxes.'' They're going to have to decide what they're going to do about that. NAFTA”
