On the recordJanuary 30, 2003
I briefly want to respond that in the past 3 weeks we have had a lot to do. It has been an opportunity for us to work hand in hand, and I think what has happened over the last initial 12 days, and then now over the last 4 days, does demonstrate that with an aggressive agenda, that by working together and cooperating and, yes, negotiating, we can work through and achieve great accomplishments for the country. I appreciate his comments.
