On the recordMarch 19, 1996
I would like to take a very brief moment to acknowledge the input of many people to make this possible. I need not, Mr. President, indicate further this has been a very difficult and intricate package to craft; and this could not have happened without the cooperation of Senator Byrd, the ranking member, and the ranking members of our committee, as well as our own Republican members. I want to commend particularly the leadership that has been so important in getting us to this particular point. I hope that all of you will say your prayers, and include the Appropriations Committee, as it now goes to conference with the House of Representatives.
