Harry Reid: “The problem with the managers' amendment, all the amendments are Republicans' amendments. We don't have the numbers, but…”

On the recordSeptember 29, 2006
The problem with the managers' amendment, all the amendments are Republicans' amendments. We don't have the numbers, but I think we have a few amendments that would strengthen the bill. We have discussed this publicly and privately and here is where we are. It is unfortunate. It is something that should be done. There is not a country in the world, in my opinion, that deserves more attention than India--maybe some as much as them, but they have been a good partner of ours. I think this would be a step forward for the world and our two countries.
