“Could I reiterate? We were able to work out, obviously, a very agreeable approach to the question on health care which stymied us in a similar way for a period of time. I want to reiterate to the majority leader, we are not trying to kill this bill, at least for this reason. And we are not attempting to delay.

In a discussion with the majority leader, the minority leader and majority leader could arrive at a date certain for a vote?”
