“I think in the same spirit of compromise which we just passed the Defense authorization bill, as it has been referred to, we can work to get PNTR up this month and passed, along with the appropriations bills--as many as we can. I say to the majority leader, I will do my part in helping with the estate tax reform bill to try to limit the amount of time on that bill and also work on other appropriations bills. I think it is necessary that PNTR also be included in the list of measures that we will bring up and pass this month.”
