Harry Reid: “If I can say one more thing, the majority leader and the minority leader and the two managers of this bill, Senator…”

On the recordJuly 17, 2001
If I can say one more thing, the majority leader and the minority leader and the two managers of this bill, Senator Domenici and I, had a conference earlier in the day. Senator Domenici said he thought we could finish the bill tomorrow. He is one of the real pros here, very experienced. He knows this bill as well as anyone. So I take the Senator at his word, as I do everything he tells me. I say to the majority leader, tomorrow it would seem to me that we not only have to finish this bill but also we have the Graham nomination that we have to finish tomorrow. Because the majority leader told me this previously--and everybody should understand this--we could be working well into tomorrow night, real late, to finish the assigned time we have on the Graham amendment. Is that a fact?
