On the recordJune 6, 2002
He would have gone to the wall. I am disappointed that Senator Domenici is not going to be given an opportunity. I will be happy to work with him in the future, I think as well as everybody in the Senate. I do not think there was anything said that in any way diminished the stature of the Senator from Arizona. I think Senator Domenici had a right to object.
