On the recordSeptember 19, 2001
let me say again what a pleasure it is to work with Senator Campbell, his staff and my staff who I named previously today. They have done an excellent job. We passed this bill in fairly short order. As I said when we started today, I hope we could perhaps show the American people that we are back at work and trying to do things in a way that allows all of us to work together for the interest of this country, and I believe the passage of this bill in the manner we have done tonight is a demonstration of that. Again, I thank my colleague and all of our Senate colleagues for cooperating and allowing us to get to the point of passing this important legislation this evening. I yield the floor.
