On the recordJuly 11, 2000
I have a list of amendments on prescription drugs, long-term health care, Medicare, retirement--in other words, a lot of things on the Democrats' agenda that have not been accomplished. I said relevant amendments pertaining to the death tax and, unfortunately, our Democratic colleagues have not been willing to comply or agree. I had hoped we would have had a little less partisan exchange on a Tuesday morning. Let's go back to the Cloakroom and come up with two or three relevant amendments dealing with this issue and vote. That is the way we should work.
