Thomas Daschle: “The deputy Democratic leader is right. There are absolutely as many references to that in the Record as any legislation…”

On the recordJune 10, 1999
The deputy Democratic leader is right. There are absolutely as many references to that in the Record as any legislation I know of this year, especially from the other side. The Senator from Connecticut has been so diligent and so arduous in recognizing how important this bill is and urging us to move through this and get it done. He is on the floor. I am sure he would be more than happy to vote on final passage this afternoon, but that will not happen.
