On the recordJanuary 3, 1996
Mr. Vento, I thank the gentleman for yielding, but is this not really a question of a sort of cantankerous attitude on the part of our colleagues on the other side saying ``We want it our way or no way at all?'' Have I not understood, have you not understood, that this body is a body of compromise? We come here to compromise. None of us, none of us, get whatever we want. The President does not get what he wants. Republicans do not get what they want. Democrats do not. Somehow we work a middle ground, a compromise. That is what the gentleman from North Carolina [Mr. Hefner] was talking about.
