Byron Dorgan: “But the Senator supported, when the bill passed the Senate the Senator supported the conference report that had this…”

On the recordJune 10, 1997
But the Senator supported, when the bill passed the Senate the Senator supported the conference report that had this package of disaster assistance in it. I just do not want someone to misinterpret--maybe I am putting words in your mouth, but I do not want someone to misinterpret when you say, well, there may not be $8.6 billion. My assumption is that you support and others in the Senate support the quantity of disaster aid that was decided upon by the conference committee. Is that not correct?
