Harry Reid: “I say to Senator Byrd and Senator Moynihan, words cannot express how I feel. As people have heard me say on the floor…”

“I say to Senator Byrd and Senator Moynihan, words cannot express how I feel. As people have heard me say on the floor before, I am from Searchlight, NV. My father never graduated from eighth grade and my mother never graduated from high school. To be in the Senate of the United States and to work with Senator Moynihan and Senator Byrd is an honor. It is beyond my ability to express enough my appreciation for this discussion that has taken place today. I hope it will create some sense in this body--maybe not for this Congress but hopefully for the next one--that we will be able to legislate as we are supposed to do it. I express my appreciation to both Senators.”
