On the recordMay 22, 1998
I have been here 25 years as a Member of the House and Senate and 4 years before that as a staff member. I have never seen a highway bill that was done any differently than this. Maybe this one is even a little better. I was getting calls at my home last night until 11:30. Senators were involved, Congressmen--negotiations going on right downstairs. There have been staff members and Senators and Congressmen coming in and out of there. I know the Senator from Alaska, as chairman of the Appropriations Committee, has seen the computer runs previously.
