On the recordApril 12, 2000
I am interested in dealing with this issue because we have been pressing it for years. We have been talking about it. Some have talked about it in campaigns. Why do we want to tie in 10 other topics? We should not. I hope the Democratic leader and our side can get together and agree on a set of alternatives that are relevant. Let's have a series of votes up or down so we can deal with this marriage tax penalty relief bill. It is time to do that. We have the wherewithal to do it. I hope we will deal with this now.
