“one point I failed to mention in talking about this bill which has been brought to the floor in the form of a conference report is the House of Representatives acted on this conference earlier today. The vote in the House of Representatives was 400 to 15--400 to 15--and here we are in the Senate playing around with this bill today, a bill that gives $470 billion to our fighting men and women around the country for the next year, and it funds our Government until the middle of December, and we are having some kind of a procedural meltdown in the Senate. Does this mean the House of Representatives, with their overwhelming vote of 400 to 15, didn't know what they were doing? The House is evenly divided, just as we are, with Democrats and Republicans. The difference is fairly minimal. But Democrats and Republicans, by an overwhelming margin, voted for this conference report. Why? Because it is the right thing to do.”
