Harry Flood Byrd said "I congratulate the majority leader on this agreement. I should state that those of us who oppose the Simon amendment gave up some of our rights, as did those who support it, but I think that this is the best conclusion. I think it will bring us to an earlier conclusion. I think that conclusion under the parameters of the agreement will certainly be protective of all concerned. I would only ask, may I say to the leader, that before he sits down or immediately after he does sit down--or immediately after he gives up the floor--I would like to hear the Danforth amendment read." @ PoliticalQuotes.com

I congratulate the majority leader on this agreement. I should state that those of us who oppose the Simon amendment gave up some of our rights, as did those who support it, but I think that this is the best conclusion. I think it will bring us to an earlier conclusion. I think that conclusion under the parameters of the agreement will certainly be protective of all concerned. I would only ask, may I say to the leader, that before he sits down or immediately after he does sit down--or immediately after he gives up the floor--I would like to hear the Danforth amendment read.
