Byron Dorgan: “I will not speak for a lengthy time, but I wanted to thank my colleague from Montana as he leaves. He will be back on…”

“I will not speak for a lengthy time, but I wanted to thank my colleague from Montana as he leaves. He will be back on Monday as we take up this bill again, and I look forward continuing to work with him. We put together a pretty decent bill. As I indicated previously, this bill actually cuts by $\1/2\ billion, slightly more, spending over the previous year. So it has been a chore to get this done because of the substantial cuts. But the Senator from Montana has been good to work with. ____________________”
