On the recordJune 13, 1997
I'm just glad it passed. Mayor Owens, the mayor of Grand Forks--I visited out there in North Dakota--called me last night after I signed it and said how glad she was the people were going to get their aid, and that's all I have to say. This never should have been political, and I don't want the politics to continue, and I don't want to talk about victories or defeat here. People are going to get help; that's all that counts. We've got to go back to working on this budget and all these other issues.
