Harry Reid: “I personally appreciate the distinguished Republican leader having a pro forma session tomorrow and our being out on…”

On the recordSeptember 15, 2004
I personally appreciate the distinguished Republican leader having a pro forma session tomorrow and our being out on Friday. We don't recognize often enough publicly the great work that the staff does. These people around here work so hard, work such long hours. After we go, many of them are still around here making sure the journals are correct, and there are many other things they do. In addition, because of the terrorism threat, we have all these security people here. I personally appreciate the distinguished Republican leader not having a full-blown session tomorrow.
