Bob Dole: “It may be progress, depending on how it is defined. I have not checked Webster's lately. But it would be slow progress…”

On the recordJanuary 17, 1995
It may be progress, depending on how it is defined. I have not checked Webster's lately. But it would be slow progress if it is progress. But it is my hope we can put a list together, with staff working on each side, and submit a copy of that to the Democratic leader and also the Senator from West Virginia, and others who have an interest, and see if we can reach some agreement on a list of amendments. If it is going to be 40, 50, or 60, probably half are nongermane. I hope in the interest of expediency, we will have support for the vote of cloture, which would eliminate all the nongermane amendments.
