I have worked for all the time I have been in the Senate, for more than a dozen years, on a very close, intimate basis while we were managing the Energy and Water appropriations bill, with the senior Senator from New Mexico, Senator Domenici. What is going on here, as the comanager of this bill, is very unlike Senator Domenici. Senator Domenici likes things debated. He likes votes to take place. He likes movement here in the Senate. Senator Domenici is not part of holding this legislation up, is he?
