On the recordJuly 31, 1997
I think the single-most underestimated person in this body is one of the single-most effective people, and that is my senior colleague, Bill Roth. He has a style that is so low-key and so quiet that I don't think he gets the credit he deserves. I just want to remind everybody, notwithstanding the fact that everyone sees and hears more about the able leaders I mentioned, this deal would not have been done without Bill Roth. Bill Roth. People in my State love him, but they don't even realize that. I just want everybody to be reminded that this quiet guy from Delaware, who has a very different political view on a lot of things than I do, is one of the single-most effective people we have. On last year's welfare reform bill, and every major thing we have done in the past 18 months, he has been at the helm, or has played a major part.
