“I am very deeply disappointed that the Senator from Kentucky has seen fit to object to this. We will continue to press this matter. We will look for other opportunities. I would much rather do it in an orderly fashion using the regular order to allow this to come up and be debated. But if we cannot do it that way, we will offer it in the form of amendments. One way or the other we will press for this issue. We will see it resolved, and see it resolved successfully, because I don't believe there is another issue out there this year that is of greater importance to the American people.”
