On the recordMarch 10, 1999
I appreciate the Senator's attitude on this. Obviously, he has worked on it, he cares about it, and he would have liked to have it highlighted and considered individually. We were trying to craft an agreement, and the attitude he had was that he wanted to get it done; that was more important. I wish we had more Senators who were willing to make such a concession. I thank the Senator from Rhode Island for that approach.
