On the recordJanuary 25, 2000
if I could through you to the majority leader indicate that certainly the right decision was made today. I think we have become kind of spoiled back here in Washington; we have had such mild winters. If we reflect back on the days of our service in the House, which was not too long ago, I say to the majority leader, it seems to me we used to have bad weather and we had to make preparations for snow days. I remember the Reagan inaugurations; those were bitter cold events about this time of year. So the right decision was made. I look forward to working with the leader and the majority in moving legislation along. We have made great progress on the bankruptcy bill, and I look forward to completing that in the near future.
