“I must say I share her sentiment that some of the most gratifying work I have done in the Senate has been my work with Senator Feinstein and her good staff in putting together a constitutional amendment and working hard to try to get it passed and preparing for the hearings--speaking with the victims, meeting with the Justice Department--literally hundreds of hours of time we have spent together working on this issue. It has helped to foster a bond of trust and friendship between us that I think could be used as a template for our colleagues in this body to work together in a bipartisan way. I can never thank Senator Feinstein enough for her work on this amendment. I know the many victims who are here in the gallery share that sentiment. This legislation would not be before us today without Senator Feinstein. That is simply a fact. For all of the hard work we have put in with her cooperation and her commitment to this, I thank Senator Feinstein deeply. She knows that bond of trust will continue to exist between us.”
