Chuck Schumer: “I just want to add my thanks to my friend from North Dakota. Again…”

On the recordJune 19, 2001

I just want to add my thanks to my friend from North Dakota. Again, just as was the hearing in Nevada, the hearing in New York was moving, factual, and brought the case to real life as to why we need this proposal. And the Senator did. He went around the country, everywhere, like Paul Revere, letting people know they didn't have to just curse the darkness; that they could actually get something done with legislation that would really matter to people, knowing that this is not just a political game. I add my voice to thank the Senator from North Dakota, as chair of the Policy Committee, for the great work he has done.
