Harry Reid: “I certainly am happy to be here today and that I was--I do not know if happy is the right word--able to hear the Senator…”

“I certainly am happy to be here today and that I was--I do not know if happy is the right word--able to hear the Senator from North Dakota, who did such a good job. Not only is he articulate in his views, but he always has facts and figures to back them up. We have come to know Senator Conrad as someone in the Senate who knows the numbers better than anyone else. In addition to that, he obviously is aware of other issues going on, such as his presentation today, which is a presentation I heard developed previously. I want the Senator to know how much I appreciate his very clear and concise statement. I appreciate it.”
