On the recordJuly 16, 1997
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.
