On the recordJune 30, 2000
having been the Senate Democratic leader, I know that there comes a moment in time when leaders have to step in and act. Our two leaders did that at the critical moment. It is through their leadership that we have reached an understanding in this matter. I thank both leaders. I congratulate them on having done a great service. I say this: Every Senator is in their debt. I also thank my colleague and friend, Senator Stevens, for the leadership he has shown in these appropriations matters. I hope that both of our leaders, in particular, and all of our colleagues will have a very safe and enjoyable Fourth of July.
