On the recordJune 29, 2001
I want to add a word for my colleague from Delaware. He and I have been working together on this legislation since it came to the floor and beforehand. He has a very well thought out position. Some of his positions I do not entirely share, but he has been very careful and very thoughtful about all these issues and has been working very vigorously with us on this legislation. He cares deeply about patient protection. He cares deeply about making sure that people all over this country have real patient's rights. He cares deeply about the uninsured. This is an issue he and I have talked about many times. He has made enormous contributions to the legislation that is now on the floor. I thank the Senator from Delaware for all of his work in this regard, and I yield the floor.
