Harry Reid: “That is something we were talking about over here. I say to the chairman of the full committee that we have already…”

On the recordSeptember 30, 1999
That is something we were talking about over here. I say to the chairman of the full committee that we have already looked at these amendments. A number of Members on this side are waiting to see what amendments are being offered on the other side. There are a couple of amendments that are going to cause this bill a really slow ride through these Halls. One is on ergonomics, which is a real problem; we have a dozen or so Senators who want to speak in relation to that amendment. So I think a lot depends on what amendments are offered on the majority side to see how we can weed out some of these amendments over here.
