On the recordSeptember 18, 1996
let me join my colleague, Senator McCain, in complimenting the Senator from Oregon, Mr. Wyden. He has been a great asset to this institution since he arrived and has been a tremendous asset to the Commerce Committee since he has joined us there. He has been thoughtful, he has been thorough, he has been amenable, but all the time pushing forward as it relates to help in all pieces of legislation, not particularly this one, in his effort to see that his constituents are protected and are helped. I compliment him on the contribution he has made to having S. 1994 at this point, and I look forward to working with him in the future.
