On the recordMay 3, 1994
I rise today to recognize a special milestone in science and our understanding of nature. Scientists at Illinois' own Fermilab have found the first direct evidence of the top quark, the sixth and last component of a standard model of matter that explains the relationships between subatomic particles. Since the fifth quark was seen at Fermilab in 1977, scientists around the world have searched for the elusive other half of the pair. I am proud to say that the 2,000 men and women of Fermilab have the honor of once again claiming the prize. Those in Congress who have supported U.S. leadership in science have a right to be proud as well. Programs such as that at Fermilab have not only contributed greatly to our knowledge, but have provided the tools and skills of our best science to their communities and the hundreds of students and researchers that carry the scientific vision from Illinois to communities across the Nation. We congratulate them on their accomplishment and wish them every success in their continuing research.

The answer is we will occasionally do so, and for those who say what about a recession, since 1962 we have had 11 stimulus packages pass the U.S. Senate. All of them passed with more than 60 votes.
