“My point is he has never been for this bill. Frankly, he knows this language in this bill is the result of tremendous compromise between the House and the Senate. His amendment would bring this bill down. All of us would like to make changes. This is a complex bill. I think all of us, if we could be dictator for a day, would put our own imprint on this bill. But this is 8 years of work, and I don't want to see this bill brought down because one person doesn't agree with one provision. In the viewpoint of the distinguished Senator from Wisconsin, most of the protections he doesn't agree with. He is not going to vote for this bill, whether his amendment is agreed to. All his amendment does is create a confusion and a situation where literally this bill could go down. We have to get this bill in a form which the House will accept, and this is the form in which the House will accept it.”
