Orrin Hatch: “I do, and I appreciate the distinguished Senator and his efforts to represent his State. I know he does a very good job.…”

“I do, and I appreciate the distinguished Senator and his efforts to represent his State. I know he does a very good job. I know the senior Senator from Massachusetts is doing a very good job. We are friends. This isn't going to change that. All I can say is that we disagree respectfully. I think I have made this as palatable as we possibly could under the circumstances. The point I have been making is that the agreement is available 60 days before it is even signed. So it isn't as if people will not have a chance to look at it or to fight against it or talk to the President-- whoever that might be. The fact of the matter is that I am not sure that it should be longer than 60 plus 60 plus, I think, another 60. So all I can say is that I have to object, as manager of this bill. I never feel good about objecting to something my colleagues want. I respect your desire to have as much information as you can. I respect the senior Senator from Massachusetts.”
