Harry Reid: “I rise to express how much I appreciate his work of the last 2 days. It has been very difficult. He and I worked…”

On the recordJuly 12, 2001
I rise to express how much I appreciate his work of the last 2 days. It has been very difficult. He and I worked together on Military Construction when I was chairman and he was ranking member. Through each ordeal we experience we become closer, and I have become more appreciative of his legislative abilities. For both of us to be able to work with one of the legends of the Senate, Senator Byrd, is always a pleasure and a learning experience. I want to make sure that spread on the Record is my appreciation for the good work done by the two managers of this bill.

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.

I didn’t have success because of my good looks, or because I was a genius. I had success because I worked harder than anybody else.
