Byron Dorgan: “No, I say in response to Senator Reid, most people are concerned at this moment about the Senate moving very quickly…”

On the recordOctober 10, 2001
No, I say in response to Senator Reid, most people are concerned at this moment about the Senate moving very quickly with some urgency to deal with situations such as aviation security, to deal with the issues of national security and international security responding to terrorism, the antiterrorism bill. Most people are concerned about that. Obviously, the lingering effects of the September 11 terrorist acts will probably last forever, and it means people are very concerned about this country's response to those specific threats.
