I would like to begin tonight almost with an apology. This is one of the greatest days in American history, and what we need to be talking about this evening is not partisan bickering back and forth. What we need to be talking about is the great things that have happened out here today. It truly is an amazing day. It is a day when we look at both sides of Pennsylvania Avenue. The President and the Republicans down here in the House and the Senate, in a bipartisan way, have reached an agreement to balance the Federal budget probably as soon as next year, lower taxes on the American people, something that we all look forward to being able to talk about, and Medicare is restored so our senior citizens, once again for a full decade, can count on their Medicare going into the future. It truly is, for a change, a great day in Washington, DC. We really have some good things to talk about.
