On the recordNovember 7, 2003
I hope we can get things done here. There is so much to be done. I said last night, and I spoke from the heart, people in Nevada at our military bases, Fallon and Ellis, need this Military Construction bill passed. I don't know why we are not going to do it today. If it is brought up next Monday or Tuesday, nothing is going to happen on it, so let's get that done. The Syria Accountability bill--I understand what is going on here. There is an effort made so there will be a vote Monday night on Syria Accountability because there is a time limit on it. If that is the case, fine. Remember, this is an important piece of legislation that requires our immediate attention. I don't think we should be doing things that take away for 1 minute our going into Syria's accountability, supporting the Hezbollah, and all the other activities they do that simply are not appropriate. We are in a situation where we have bills that need to be passed and conference reports that need to be approved. It is not going to happen for reasons I don't understand.
