Harry Reid: “If I could say a word before closure takes place, I know the burden on the majority leader is significant. There is so…”

On the recordJuly 19, 2005
If I could say a word before closure takes place, I know the burden on the majority leader is significant. There is so much to do and so little time to do it. Through the Chair, I express my desire to the majority leader that we figure out a way--he figure out a way--we can move to the DOD authorization bill at the earliest possible date. I think it is so important we do that. I visited Walter Reed yesterday. It is important we set the right tone for those men and women fighting over there. Part of that would be to do the DOD authorization.
