Political Quotes

“The reason I want to have an exchange with the Senator is I think maybe what the Senator said here today could resolve this homeland security matter. I believe, as the Senator from Pennsylvania does, that if there are differences we have here in the Senate version of the bill, it will go to conference with the House. The House and the Senate will sit down, the White House people will be involved, as they always are in important conferences, and we will come up with a product. I think instead of scrumming, as we are here, I think we would be better off, as the Senator has suggested, to get a bill out of here, get it to conference, and get something to the President's desk. So I fully support, as I heard him, the Senator from Pennsylvania. I think that is the way to resolve this matter. Get a bill out of here, get it to the conference, and, as the Senator said--how much difference is there between the two versions of this amendment that is creating so much controversy? There are differences, but I am not sure they are as big as some think. The labor-management issue, which seems to be a big problem, if that matter is as close as what the Senator from Pennsylvania said, I think it could be resolved in conference.”
