I know. because this is the third year. in the third session of a Congress. that I have stood here with him as we have managed this legislation on the floor for what seems like a great many days.

Senator SIMPSON has pursued this issue tirelessly. with the tenacity that it unfortunately requires. as well as with the patience it demands. This body owes a great deal to Senator SIMPSON for taking on this enormously controversial issue and presenting it to the Senate in a thoughtful and constructive fashion.
