Harry Reid: “To indicate the patience and integrity of the Senator from Arizona, he could have moved forward on this legislation. But…”

“To indicate the patience and integrity of the Senator from Arizona, he could have moved forward on this legislation. But because of his patience--and most of us wouldn't want to do anything that somebody might object to--he acknowledged when he came to this floor that he could have moved forward on this legislation. I know the Senator from Arizona stands for what is good about this country, having devoted a large part of his life in a prison camp for American citizens. If we can't hear him speaking, then we can't hear anybody. We have to move forward on this legislation. As I have said privately to the Senator from Arizona--and I say now publicly--what he is saying is absolutely full of veracity. One only needs to look at who is saying it to understand that.”
