On the recordOctober 27, 2000
I do know that even in biblical times, when the ox was in the mire on the Sabbath, you had to help get that animal out of the mud. I think that is what we are in now. It may be necessary that we work on Sunday; We have so many things left to do. I agree with the minority leader. These breaks don't have us doing the work that we need to do. We need our attention focused on completing Commerce-State-Justice, doing this tax bill, and doing whatever needs to be done on bankruptcy, if, in fact, anything is going to be done. There are a number of items we have to do. The minute we say we are not going to do anything until Tuesday, Washington is vacated and nothing is done.
