On the recordMay 19, 1998
Senator Gregg, doesn't it seem like this is a very important bill? I gather that it is probably, in one fell swoop, adding more money to government than anything we have ever done in any single bill in modern history. Don't you think we have rules and we ought to take our time and do this in a normal manner that befits the Senate for one of the most important spending bills that we have had in decades?
