Gerald Ford said "The Senator from Wyoming understands better than most why the minimum wage amendment is being placed here. That is about the only place we can get a chance to do it. He understands that well. And also the sense of the Senate on the balanced budget amendment, not using Social Security. He understands that question well. Could it not be worked out and taken off the bill? If a time agreement to vote on this bill--on those two questions be agreed to in 30 seconds, they would both be off the bill, would they not?" @ PoliticalQuotes.com
