I also believe that a fasttrack reconciliation bill is the wrong vehicle to be considering a fundamental change like this. For those who are not familiar with our terminology. "fast track" means get it done. try to zip it through the placenot undercover but to try to get it done. The reconciliation bill is one that kind of commands an enforcement mechanism for achieving the objectives that we set out for ourselvesin this case the balanced budget by the year 2002. to try to extend the solvency of Medicare. take care of legal immigrants who are here. to provide insurance coverage for children that are not ensured. Those are the missions that we encompass in this bill. They were negotiated over a long period of timeseveral months.
