On the recordSeptember 28, 2004
I say through the Chair, Senator Daschle has met with Senator Frist on more than one occasion today. These are extraordinary times. Not only do we have a Presidential election, but these are extraordinary times because of the threat facing our country. This legislation, the two leaders believe, should be expedited. It deals with that very threat. Everyone should listen very closely to what the majority leader said. That is, we have to take a look at Friday, weekend, Monday. This is for real. We are running out of time. The two leaders agree that we have to work very hard to complete the agenda we have ahead of us, which is a lot in a very short period of time.
