On the recordMay 1, 1996

let me just comment, I have frequently said on the floor we are too partisan, excessively partisan. It is true. But this is a case where we discussed the issues, where on one side you had the Simpson-Kennedy leadership, on the other side you had Senator Abraham and Senator Feingold. That is the way it should be on most issues. Very few issues, really, involve party political philosophy. Whether you won or lost on this issue, this is the way legislating ought to take place.
