On the recordOctober 28, 1999
it has not been easy because of a small majority. And the 1997 budget accord which the gentleman from Wisconsin did not have to deal with, either, because he was Chairman before the 1997 budget agreement has not made it easy. But we made promises, and we have kept those promises, and this bill today will complete the promise of having 13 bills on the President's desk. Then we will go to the final phase of our appropriations process for this year, and then we can all go home and be with our constituents, where we should spend considerable time. After this bill gets to the White House, then the final phase will be to deal with the President's vetoes, on whichever bill he determines to veto. At that point the gentleman from Wisconsin and I will once again become major players to try to settle those differences and get signable bills. But now let us vote against the motion to recommit and vote for this conference report.
