What this 'sunset the code' bill does is ... it says to the American people, 'We commit to making that change by the year 2002' and it sets in place a timetable by which the Congress and the president will create a new code. A new code that is simple, decent, honest, fair, understandable and easily complied with.
We're perfectly willing to spend more money on educating American people if the control of that money is in the local communities, under the local school boards,
We will set aside more money for Social Security than what the president did in his budget; there's not a doubt about it.
We will divide the four questions into separate votes and barring any parliamentary antics, it should be completed Thursday evening or perhaps Friday morning,
