On the recordJuly 17, 1997
I congratulate the two managers of this bill, Senator McConnell and Senator Leahy, for accomplishing almost the impossible-- to have the foreign assistance bill passed in this manner. We had a meeting at the beginning of this year when I became chairman and talked about trying to have a program of crisis avoidance, and this is a good example of it. These two Senators have worked with all Members who had amendments and tried to accommodate them, at least dealt with most of them, and the result is on the floor being able to pass this bill, and it is a great bill.
