Patrick Moynihan said "as the Special Committee on the Year 2000 Technology Problem prepares to release its final report and disband today, I think it is only appropriate to thank our Chairman Robert F. Bennett and Vice Chairman Christopher J. Dodd for the tremendous job that they did. They assembled the committee, held hearings to measure the problem, and in the end led the nation and world in ameliorating it. Well done. We are told that nothing is more permanent than 'temporary,' especially with regard to congressional committees. But our special committee did its job, in the time allotted--under Senate Resolution 208, the committee was to last from April 2, 1998 to February 29, 2000--and now it will be no more. I am pleased to join the Democrat leader, Senator Daschle, and others in introducing a resolution that congratulates and thanks the chairman and vice chairman for their fine leadership and work." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
