On the recordJanuary 7, 1997
I will certainly look forward to accommodating his needs and requests during the 105th Congress. I hope that Senators who have objections will notify me personally prior to the time they are going to come to the floor with indications of this kind. It is cumbersome and certainly has created difficulties for Senators who are not here. So it is my hope, too, to accommodate Senators, to demonstrate again a willingness to work together, again, with the clear understanding that I am every bit as committed as he has indicated he is to campaign finance reform. I also urge the Senator to cooperate and to work with us on this particular matter.
