I am grateful for the work by so many to reach conclusion on this most important appropriation bill. Senator Domenici has been a real partner and I appreciate his openness with me and my staff. Alex Flint and David Gwaltney have been easy to work with and have been essential to final passage of this bill. Minority clerk Greg Daines has rendered invaluable service to me and the country in helping develop this legislation. Elizabeth Blevins on the minority side has been most helpful. Bob Perret, a congressional fellow, has rendered valuable assistance to me with his scientific background. I look forward to a quick conference and a speedy signature by the President.

I didn't make it in life because of my athletic prowess. I didn't make it because of my good looks. I didn't make it because I'm a genius. I made it because I worked hard.
I didn’t have success because of my good looks, or because I was a genius. I had success because I worked harder than anybody else.
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.
Never in the history of the country, never in the history of the country have we produced more for a president and somebody that’s led his party than we’ve done together.
