Joseph T. Burns: “I will tell the Senator, the Senator from New York has just been an absolute champion on this because she understands…”

On the recordDecember 8, 2004
I will tell the Senator, the Senator from New York has just been an absolute champion on this because she understands upstate New York and she understands her rural areas. She doesn't just understand downtown New York. That might be the political base but, nonetheless, when she was elected as a Senator she all at once realized, and came to me and said: I have a rural area that I have to serve. She has been very diligent. She has worked very hard, especially on the other side of the aisle. I appreciate the contribution of the Senator from Florida, and I thank Senator Clinton for her cosponsorship and her work, as well as many other colleagues who have worked with me--Senator Lott, Senator Frist, Senator Sununu, and many others who worked to improve this legislation.
