Trent Lott: “I want to again thank them for their effort. It was bipartisan because the Senator from Oregon, Mr Wyden, made it so…”

On the recordMarch 11, 1999
I want to again thank them for their effort. It was bipartisan because the Senator from Oregon, Mr Wyden, made it so, stayed in there, worked with us, but I particularly wish to thank the Senator from Tennessee, Mr. Frist, the doctor, who gave us an education. He took us to school. He used apples and information and examples. He acted like a good teacher should. I congratulate him for that. He even showed us how you could use a scalpel to cut the redtape, and that is what this Ed-Flex bill will do. So to the two Senators, I thank them for their leadership, for their work, for their persistence because they both have been heckling me about this bill for a year, and I am glad it is done. I congratulate them for their effort.

My recommendation to the Congress and to the president would be, quit campaigning, quit having press conferences. Sit down at a round table and negotiate a deal.
