On the recordFebruary 26, 1997

I thank my friend. How can my friends on the Republican side--and let me say that I have great admiration for the Senator from Utah. He has stood here day after day and labored in the vineyard and carried the burden of the arguments. I marvel at his equanimity, his patience, and his characteristic courtesy. But how can the Senator argue, on the one hand, that the Federal Government should be like the States, that it should be constitutionally required to balance its budget, but he opposes letting the Federal Government be like the States when he opposes having the Federal Government operate not only on an operating budget but also with a capital budget?
