“This morning one of the very able legislative assistants who has worked on this legislation for almost 7 years, going back to the time on the Medicare Commission when we first started doing Medicare reform, was on the floor working with me on amendments in this legislation.

The name is yet to be determined, but I wanted to bring that to the attention of my colleagues and all of her colleagues on the professional staff. I yield the floor.”
