Byron Dorgan: “I notice on our desks there is something called the conference report. It is what I asked Senator Conrad about earlier…”

On the recordApril 28, 2005
I notice on our desks there is something called the conference report. It is what I asked Senator Conrad about earlier today, whether he was aware of what was in the conference report. I guess that was at about noon or 1 o'clock. I believe the Senator responded that he was not aware at that point because he had not seen it. But because this is called a conference report, I would ask the Senator--you are the ranking member on the Budget Committee here in the Senate--were you a part of the conference? Were you a conferee?
