On the recordNovember 10, 1997
the Senator from Montana was so right in recognizing the cooperation of the Members of the House. I worked with them, as did the other Members. Several times we had meetings, telephone calls with Representative Shuster, the chairman of the counterpart committee in the House, Representative Petri, Representative Oberstar, and Representative Rahall. All of them were very helpful. Obviously, you cannot get a compromise unless you get the other side to join in the compromise. Fortunately, they were helpful in achieving that. Mr. President, also, when I listed the staff members that we worked so closely with, I omitted Brian Riley from the Budget Committee, who was extremely helpful to us. His knowledge and expertise were very, very useful.
