We are going to offer an amendment that sets up a program whereby prisoners can work on making products that are no longer made in the United States.

I think a job is the most important, centering thing, for all of us, an important centering part of our lives.

I am going to offer an amendment here to set up a pilot program to have prisoners working.

I talked to a prisoner, he got out, he cannot get a job.

The problem is that this Congress has diminished the amount of work that prisoners can do.

I think it is the most extensive since I have worked in this institution, that there has been so much time spent.

I think it has to be so truly bipartisan that it stands the test no matter who comes at it.

Also, Mr. Werholtz, if you vote for Sam Brownback for Governor you will have one of the finest guys that I know.

I thank whatever is done really has to be so authentically, truly, bipartisan.

I know when Mr. Scott and I put the bill in we had tremendous resistance from the states.

It takes money to save money.
