Trent Lott: “I enjoyed Senator Nickles' remarks, and I associate myself with them.…”

On the recordMay 16, 2002

I enjoyed Senator Nickles' remarks, and I associate myself with them. I agree with him, and I certainly hope we can prevail in not adding this amendment to this legislation. It would be a further blow to the legislation that has certain problems now. We need to get the trade legislation done and not further encumber it with other issues such as this one. One can argue about the steel legacy costs one way or the other, and I am sure we could get a pretty good debate here. I personally think we should not go down that trail, certainly not on this legislation.
