“I hope the Senator, with the persuasive nature that he has in his down-home, homespun, very persistent and persuasive way, would be able to talk to his side and let us get to this bill. There are some things that I would like to offer as an amendment on the bill. The Senator from Montana agrees, and I agree, that airport security is something we should fasten onto quickly. We should get to the bill. If there is something somebody doesn't like in the way of an amendment-- and people are not complaining about the underlying bill, but if there is an amendment someone doesn't like, vote it up or down. I hope today we can get to the bill.”
