On the recordJuly 30, 1997
I believe the thing that gave us momentum to get it done was the Finance Committee's bipartisan addressing of most of the issues in this bill. Now, I am sure the Senator from New York didn't get everything he wants, but I believe it was one of the big turning points when the Senator joined with Senator Roth and between the two of them had such a large cadre of Senators from both sides supporting some very, very powerful things, and I thank the Senator personally for that.
