Mr. President, this has been an exciting day, the beginning of the 112th Congress. It has been I think a historic day. The debate has been very good. The exchange between the Republican leader and I set the stage, I hope--at least that is what I believe--for the conversation that came later from Democrats and Republicans about how this place is going to run. I think that has been very constructive for the Senate and for the country. ____________________
