On the recordOctober 7, 1998
my time left in the Senate is very brief. I have--I don't know--3, 4, at the most 5 days left of active duty on the Senate floor. I read a story in the paper this morning that gives me some satisfaction at least about some of the things I have done since I came here. As I have said on the floor many times, there isn't anything as gratifying to a Senator as being able to stand on the floor and say, ``I told you so.'' When I first came here, I had read a story in some science magazine about two young physicists at the University of California at Irvine who had developed a theory that chlorofluorocarbons--a gas, normally found in aerosols and freon, which we use in our air conditioners and refrigerators--that these chlorofluorocarbons that we sprayed on our hair in the morning were wafting up into the stratosphere over a period of 12 to 15 years and destroying the ozone layer.
