On the recordDecember 7, 2001
I oppose what Senator Durbin is hoping to do. His argument pointed out that the Illinois delegation is divided. In general, I think Congressman Lipinski in the House supports Senator Durbin's efforts. Congressman Hyde and Congressman Jesse Jackson, Jr., happen to support my side. Other Members of the Illinois delegation have not necessarily taken a position. They are not statewide officers and have not had to form an opinion necessarily or weigh in on this matter. It is true that the mayor of the city of Chicago, Mayor Daley, as well as the Governor of the State of Illinois, did reach agreement two nights ago on an O'Hare expansion plan. I do not support that expansion plan, however.
