“I compliment the Senator for recognizing the contributions of Senator Bond. As my colleague knows, a good deal of money has been added to this bill. Senator Bond laid the foundation, together with the Senator's support, whereby this became a reality in the sequencing in the Byrd-Gramm-Baucus-Warner amendment. But that foundation was laid by the distinguished senior Senator. He serves on the committee and helped develop the underlying bill and the amendment. I thank the Senator for his participation. Missouri sent two strong proponents for this highway bill, and I compliment the Senator.”
