“I have been around here quite a while, and I think, I say to my friend from New York, the distinguished chairman of the committee has indicated fairly strongly he will do the best he can. I have seen him do the best he can before, and I have always lost. So I would think the Senator would be in a very strong position when he gives that message. And I hope that we can--everybody knows if it is not in the conference report, it will be back here next week and we will be voting on it almost daily. I do not think it is in anybody's interest to drop it out now. I hope my colleague from New York would accept that the chairman and the ranking Republican feel the same way. Is that correct? I know the Senator feels the same way. Is that correct?”
