I hope before the day ends we can pass this very important piece of legislation. I know there are things in here which are important to the people of Nevada and to the rest of the country. I think the committee should be commended for passing this, moving it to the floor, and getting to conference. Getting anything out of conference under the present atmosphere is a remarkable feat. Senator Leahy is to be admired and commended for doing this.

More from Harry Reid

Get rid of the filibuster, is nothing that as Brock Obama said, at John Lewis` funeral, it’s part of the leftovers from the days of the slave owners. You got to get rid of it. It’s very, very bad.
Never in the history of the country, never in the history of the country have we produced more for a president and somebody that’s led his party than we’ve done together.
