On the recordDecember 19, 2001
My request would be that there be one last attempt to make a bipartisan compromise here. We have people such as Senator Lugar, Senator Cochran, Senator Grassley, Senator Roberts, with deep histories in farm legislation, who are troubled by this bill. I believe we can work it out, as we have in several other last-minute circumstances. But to just shelve it with no willingness to give on the majority leader's side is not healthy. Will the majority leader try that?
