When I'm the nominee, ... I'm going to have Bill Clinton out on the road for me, fighting to win this presidency.

Our bill recognizes that we are in a period of economic uncertainty, so we give people immediate tax relief, which we think will help them get through this uncertain time,

I think it will be hard to get a stimulus bill, but I think we really need to do it, ... I don't think a stimulus bill will solve all of our economic problems, but I think not doing one would be a negative.

We are wasting time again today working on a bill that has been vetoed and will never see the light of day,

Don't let them fool you that we have a deal. We don't. We're not going to have a rush job here and vote for that much of a bill that we haven't read,

This could have been a bipartisan bill, but the White House squandered that opportunity, ... Instead, what we have is a Republican bill, a bill that will now go into an endless conference committee. This is exactly what the HMOs want.

I hope now that the Administration will rethink this approach and submit a fast track bill that accounts for labor, environmental, narcotics enforcement and human rights issues.
