On the recordMay 16, 2001

I hope the majority will understand some of the feelings of the people over on this side who are not familiar with the legislation. We want to make sure we do not get into some kind of vote-athon at the end of the process, that we not be faced with that. We will do our best to work, as we try to do all the time, with the majority, but I want to indicate that there are people over here concerned that they have not had the opportunity to know what is in the bill and have not had a chance to see the bill. We hope people will be understanding of some Members on this side.
