Robert C. Byrd: “I can assure you that I will do everything I can to see to it that this budgetary sleight-of-hand is reversed.”

No, we're not talking about a lot of things; we're talking about this particular request for modularity.

I do not believe that we can overstate the importance or the difficulty of the challenge before the Congress.

I cannot see how under the doctrine of preemptive strike that any President can make this decision by himself.
