Harry Reid: “If people have amendments, they can ask to meet with our staffs. We will go over the amendments to see if they are…”

On the recordFebruary 6, 2004
If people have amendments, they can ask to meet with our staffs. We will go over the amendments to see if they are acceptable. The offices are open now. There is no reason not to be able to have the resources they need to go over this bill with our staffs. The point I am making is we are open for business and we want to make sure everyone has the opportunity to talk to our staffs about any problems they have with the bill and ways it can be made better. Anyway, please work with our staffs. They will be in their offices this weekend. I hope when Monday morning comes, people will also recognize the offices will be open. At 1 o'clock, we will be open for business.
