On the recordJanuary 5, 2011
Let me finally say to the Senator from Oregon, the Presiding Officer, that I very much appreciate his support both in working with me on the constitutional option and sorting out the details and making sure we have things right and also for his incredible work in terms of pulling together the talking filibuster part of this. I was here today when he showed his charts, and he took our five ideas and, in the most simple form so the American people could understand it, capsulized those in those five charts. I have been telling my staff--and you need to do this by the end of the debate--we need to find a way to shrink those and put those in the Record also because here we are sitting on the floor and we have these charts and we need to somehow have those be a representation also.
