Pete Domenici: “I do not think that this committee has been intentionally dilatory. I do not think for a minute that Senator Al D'Amato…”

On the recordFebruary 29, 1996
I do not think that this committee has been intentionally dilatory. I do not think for a minute that Senator Al D'Amato wants to use this to carry it into the Presidential election. Frankly, I look back at the last 3 months and I kind of wonder how he was able to hold as many hearings as he did. I look at what has happened in the Senate during most of that time. We had more votes during a 2- or 3-week period than we have ever had.
