Last week the Senate continued demonstrating its resolve to move forward in a bipartisan manner, following on the footsteps of the resolution allowing force, the $40 billion for New York-related matters, moneys that were made available, and the airline bailout, costing billions of additional dollars, plus legislation which allowed relief for those people who were injured physically and killed in that incident. Last week we moved even further; we passed a very strong aviation security bill and extremely tough antiterrorism legislation. I believe this sends a strong message to those who are watching our Nation's response to the attacks of September 11. Everywhere I go--and I am sure it is the same with the President pro tempore and my friend from Alaska who is in the Chamber--people are amazed and appreciative of the bipartisanship that has been shown these past 5 weeks. People all over America--Nevada is no exception--hope we can maintain this bipartisanship and pass legislation that is good for this country.

Get rid of the filibuster. It`s nothing. As Barack Obama said at John Lewis` funeral, it`s part of the leftovers from the days of slave owners. You have got to get rid of it. It`s very bad.
