                          APPROPRIATIONS BILLS

  Mr. REID. Also, Mr. President, as to the appropriations bills, I was 
a longtime member of the Appropriations Committee, and I am glad we are 
moving forward on the appropriations bills. Why didn't we do it before? 
Because we had objections from the Republicans, and we couldn't. But we 
are going to be as cooperative as we can and see if we can move some of 
these appropriations bills. I am happy to have the Republican leader 
talk about the accomplishments, but make sure there is a side note or a 
footnote that says this has been accomplished because of our 
cooperation.
