“I am pleased, if and when we get to the vote, to cast a vote in favor of this because I think it is an important amendment. Also, if I may say, it reflects a goal that I and many others have had for a long time; namely, to have a showing of some bipartisanship. I am hopeful this will draw votes from not only your side of the aisle but this side of the aisle, and it can be viewed as a truly bipartisan amendment. Certainly, you have distinguished cosponsors on it, Senator Brownback, Senator Hutchison, Senator Specter, and others, so I believe it will be viewed as a bipartisan amendment. And that in and of itself is an important contribution to this debate all around.”
