Trent Lott: “Truly, one of the most important accomplishments of this Congress was our armed services authorization bill, the Strom…”

On the recordOctober 21, 1998
Truly, one of the most important accomplishments of this Congress was our armed services authorization bill, the Strom Thurmond authorization bill. It was a tough process, a long process, but we got it done largely because of his tenacity and the respect and reverence we all have for Senator Thurmond. And that led, of course, to the appropriations bill and its defense and military construction portions, and it contributed to the additional funds that were added in this omnibus appropriations bill for defense and intelligence for the future of our country. Thank you, Senator Thurmond, for all you did.
