                      LEGISLATIVE ACCOMPLISHMENTS

  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, last week was a good example of what we 
can accomplish when we work with instead of against each other. We were 
able to pass an economic growth package on an overwhelmingly bipartisan 
basis, which the President will sign this week. We have another chance 
in the current week to put up a bipartisan win by passing legislation 
on the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. That bill, reported out 
of the Intelligence Committee, has broad bipartisan support. It came 
out of that committee 13 to 2. I am confident with the help of our 
friends on the other side of the aisle we can work through pending 
amendments, send this over to the House, and then on to the President 
for his signature this week before the Protect America Act expires on 
Saturday.
