On the recordMarch 22, 2000
This is a moment of high achievement. Is there anybody about who can remember when a substantive piece of legislation affecting millions of Americans and dealing with the Social Security Act would pass this Chamber 100-0? I can't in my 24 years. In my 24 years, I have not seen the like. I congratulate the chairman who had the wisdom to bring up the matter, hold it at the desk, and do it this way. When the President gets back, I am sure the first thing he will do is sign it, or we can put it on a plane and send it to meet him halfway in Geneva. But congratulations.
