On the recordMarch 12, 1998
I thank Senator Baucus for the wonderful work he did. We worked as a team. We went over the amendments we were going to accept. If there was a problem, he cleared them rapidly with those on his side of the aisle so we could ascertain where the problems were and attempt to work them out. It has been a splendid relationship. I will say, that applies to every member of our committee. It is a committee that, indeed, does work together. It is a committee that reported this bill out not once, but twice, 18-0. Every single member of the committee voted for it. I thank every member of the committee, whether they are Democrat or Republican, for the wonderful cooperation they have given.
