Trent Lott: “I have asked the President and his chief of staff, ``Please respond. Come back. Let's see if we cannot work this out.''…”

On the recordJune 10, 1997
I have asked the President and his chief of staff, ``Please respond. Come back. Let's see if we cannot work this out.'' Basically, what they are saying is, ``Give us the money and no language. We want it our way and no other way.'' It does not work that way. However, in the realization and in recognition of the need for some of this to be done, I am advocating while we continue to work on that, that we do a smaller bill that would address some of the concerns that the Senator from South Dakota has.
