Harry Reid: “We need to have this terrorism insurance bill conferenced and completed. No one knows better than the Presiding Officer…”

“We need to have this terrorism insurance bill conferenced and completed. No one knows better than the Presiding Officer what the people of New York have gone through as a result of the terrorist acts of September 11. The people of this country and the businesses of this country need terrorism insurance. Everyone should understand that on this side of the aisle we have done everything we can to get this passed. We were held up for weeks and weeks before we were allowed to bring it to the floor. Now we have been held up weeks and weeks to try to get the bill to conference. It is too bad. There is a continuous pattern of obstruction that we have faced. Everyone should understand that terrorism insurance is being held up by the Republican minority.”
