On the recordJuly 10, 2000
I have found him always to be very courteous, very considerate, very cooperative; and he is this way with all Senators--not just with me but with all of our colleagues. I could not hope to have a better chairman than he. This is an important piece of legislation that provides for the management of our natural resources, undertakes important energy research, supports vital Indian health and education programs, and works to protect and preserve our national and cultural heritage. It is a bill on which Senator Gorton and I cooperate very closely on a bipartisan basis. We know no party in our relationship in this Senate.
