On the recordJuly 23, 1998
If I might, I knew we constructed a good bill. I didn't realize it was this good. But the fact of the matter is I guess we covered everybody's requests fully. But we should wait to see if any of our colleagues want to come down to the floor and commend us for it. Otherwise, I think we are seriously ready to go. I am feeling a little light-headed because we haven't heard a lot of criticism. But the bill is here. If there are people who want to amend it in any way, let them come down now or forever hold their peace, or something.
