Senate. It is. in fact. a historic moment for this Chamber that we are going to finally come to grips and face and look straight in the eye the future of our country and the children of our country and say we are now prepared to act on your behalf. We are now prepared to take the tough stands and to weather the beatings that we will be getting from the press and from the other side to stand up for the future generations of Americans so we can. like my grandfather who came here as an immigrant and my father who came here as a immigrant. try to leave the country better off and with more opportunities than their generation had. We have stopped doing that in America. and this is a chance to start over. to start anew. to give us the opportunity right here on this Senate floor to move forward. to move this country forward into a new millennium with sound fiscal policy and with opportunity available to every American. That is what this is all about.
