Chuck Grassley: “At this point in history, the President's agenda, including the cornerstone of his proposed tax relief for working men…”

On the recordApril 5, 2001
At this point in history, the President's agenda, including the cornerstone of his proposed tax relief for working men and women, is tied in with his power-sharing agreement. With this power-sharing agreement that govern the operation of this Senate, this year, certainly from the perspective of those on this side of the Aisle, there is a connection. Therefore, it strikes us as particularly unfortunate that in the context of power sharing a new obstacle is raised to the use of the reconciliation process. It is particularly disappointing to this side of the aisle that this argument on reconciliation is forthcoming now.
