On the recordAugust 1, 2001
I know in time Mexico will be able to comply with these requirements. During the upcoming recess, we are going to meet with the Department of Transportation administration officials to find out exactly what language it is that they need in order to satisfy the concerns we all have about the present language in the bill, which they view and the Mexicans view as a violation of NAFTA. I hope we can come back, at the end of the recess, and we can agree on that language. Then we can move forward. However, I remind my colleagues that there are three more--three more--cloture votes that may be required which will all involve, of course, extended debate. I do not want to do that.
