the united states as a visionary, as a strategist, and as a persuader. it happened because in the house our leadership worked not as a team but as a close partnership and with teamwork with all of the members of the democratic members of the house. now we send the bill to the senate and i salute senator reid for his leadership in bringing the senate members together, majority of the senate, around this legislation. and so, again, humility and pride, and great optimism for what will happen in the next week i'm pleased to yield to our distinguished majority leader. without his leadership and strategic thinking this evening the success would not be possible. i could say that about mr. clyburn. do you like that 220? a lot of bets were made on the numbers.
