I want to just point out some extraordinary thing that occurred totally unrelated to this vote. I think it is illustrative of notwithstanding how strongly we each feel about our positions on the issues that we still work together and are genuinely friends.

Joe Biden

During the midst of this vote, when the cloture vote began Cynthia Hogan, my chief of staff and the person quite frankly who deserves more credit for the passage of this bill than any, including me, said, "Senator, I would like to have you call an executive committee meeting off the floor." Now the reporters who cover the Judiciary know what that means. That means we are going to have a meeting, a totally separate meeting in order to vote out of committee a total of 14 Democratic nominees for the circuit court of appeals, the district court, and U.S. Marshals and Justice Department personnel, all requiring confirmation of the Senate.

Joe Biden

I turned to Orrin Hatch, and I said, "Orrin" -- because you need Republican cooperation -- "will you come off into the Vice President's room right over here and have an official meeting?" Our Republican colleagues, all but one because they did not know about it, marched off the floor. I called a meeting to order. We had a quorum, which means we have enough to be able to vote legally. I moved that all these people be approved. I have a list here. It is 14.

I moved the nomination of these, all Democratic nominees. The Republican colleagues voted for it. And they are sent to the floor, instead of having to wait an entire month before we can get badly needed judges on the bench. There was cooperation here by our Republican colleagues.

I do not want to overdraw that, but just it is the way that business works around this place with all the hollering and shouting and anger we sometimes display, because we are so wrapped up in the issues. We feel so strongfully about them. Nonetheless, in the end the peoples' business gets done.

Mr. President, I want to simply underscore again the extraordinary job of leadership which the distinguished Senator from Delaware has provided on this crime issue, not just now, but throughout this long process, the number of years in bringing us finally to the point where the Senate has enacted this very smart, tough, crime bill, and I just salute the distinguished Senator from Delaware, my neighbor as it is and my good friend for the extraordinary, extraordinary, committed, dedicated leadership he has provided throughout the consideration of this issue.

I want to point out that the majority of my key staff people on the Judiciary Committee took pay cuts to take these jobs, substantial pay cuts, tens of thousands of dollars per year in pay cuts. And I think it is shown why we have such good people here because they are, in fact, committed.

I want to start off and again pay tribute to the chief counsel of the Judiciary Committee, Cynthia Hogan. She is smart. She is tough. And I think I can say without any equivocation there is no Democratic or Republican Senator on this floor who does not respect her, and when they ask her themselves and she tells them they absolutely take it to the bank, absolutely just take it to the bank, and the most incredible and important currency in this body in this Senate is one's word.

And you have no idea, Mr. President, how easy my job is when all I have to do is ask Cynthia Hogan. Right now I bet you there are 25 Senators who can tell me Cynthia's office phone number without having to look it up because they are so accustomed to calling her and asking her her opinion or asking her for information, Republican as well as Democrat.

So, Cynthia Hogan and the former chief of staff of this committee, who was in the beginning of this process a fellow who started from the beginning and who is not here. He is here in town. He works in town. He is a fine lawyer, and his name is Mark Gitenstein. He put together this original bill with me, and Ron Klain, who is now with the Justice Department. But it was brought home by Cynthia Hogan.

I mentioned before, as a matter of fact, I saw an article in the paper today, that there is a woman on my staff named Demetra Lambros. Demetra Lambros stayed up ever night and these were averaging, if you averaged them 2 o'clock ever night, Saturday, Sunday, stayed through. Two of those nights were until 5 in the morning. And I come out of meetings at 5 in the morning in negotiations and see this lovely woman sitting on the marble stairs of the Capitol inside the Capitol with a note pad in hand and answering questions off the top of her head about complicated legal issues. And she was 4 days at that time overdue. She is due to give birth. She was 4 days overdue. She sat here on the floor until about 2 hours ago. She is on the floor back there now.

I have threatened to fire her. I have threatened everything to get her out of here, but she is so invested in this bill, and I hope I am not embarrassing her but she is now better more than a week overdue, and I think now that her child knows that the crime bill is passed the child is willing to come forth in a safer world because I want to tell you there has to be some reason why she is able to do this. She is an incredibly sharp lawyer.

And Chris Putala -- Chris has been someone again who everyone has come to rely on, not just me, all the Members of this Senate, particularly the Democratic Members. He is a first rate lawyer, a man who now when the police of this Nation and their organizations have any questions they do not even bother to call me. They call Chris because they know Chris speaks for me, and they know Chris knows of what he speaks, and they trust him completely. Again it is trust.

Mr. President, there was a young woman, one of more than a dozen children, who had worked her way through college, applied to Georgetown Law School, was admitted, a top student at Georgetown Law School, who started off as my appointments secretary, assistant appointments secretary, and she is now someone who has helped write this bill and pass the bill. Her name is Tracy Doherty. And do not be fooled, whoever ends up on the other side of her in the courtroom, by her young and lovely smile, this is one very bright, tough lady and did it all by herself.

As I said in a press conference today -- and I tell a tale on myself here. Last night, as we were going in the final throes of this matter, calling every one of the Senators to see where they were on the Democratic side, he turned to Cynthia Hogan, chief counsel, and said, "Let me write some talking points for him," which is what staff people do. He gave me a four-sentence summary of what I should say to Senators. I looked at him, I said, "George, this will never work." The first three people I called, all hard cases on this issue, I read it, and they said yes. And that was it. They went back to sleep.

Mark Disler, who is the No. 1 man over there. And Manus Cooney. It seems like Manus and I have been doing crime bills for ever and ever. Sharon Prost, who has been involved in this for years. And Larry Block and Mike Kennedy.

The thing about dealing with all of them, even though we disagreed, I never have to wonder. When I ask them what the deal is, if they cannot tell me, they do not tell me. If they can, whatever they tell me is what it is.

I want to point out one very important thing. That many of the provisions in this bill, if not the majority of the provisions in this bill, are original ideas and thoughts of Senators on this floor in both political parties. I do not claim to have had the wisdom, knowledge, or foresight to be able to think of the things that are in this bill that I think will make a difference in people's lives.

The only thing in this bill that I wrote from scratch was the Violence Against Women Act. That was a small part of this. Maybe that is why I was so emotionally attached to it. But for every other good idea in this bill, there is a Senator here -- and including that one, as well -- there is a Senator here who can rightfully claim, Democrat and Republican, that they were the ones that came to me.

One other thing I want to mention. For the past 6 years, the Nation's law enforcement officers and the representatives of their major organizations have basically lived in my office. They have become my friends. They have become people who I have learned to and come to know well and expect whatever they say, that is it. I hope and think they feel the same way about us.

I will miss them camping out in my conference room at 2 and 3 in the morning. I will miss seeing them as much as I do. But I will not miss the fact that we have to go through this again. And for the past 6 years, these law enforcement officers, representing the Nation's 500,000 police officers, sat in my office, around a conference table, working late into the night to craft a crime bill that was so desperately needed by America's front-line crime fighter.

But, more important than the names of each of these organizations, are the individuals who are able, creative, and talented leaders of these organizations. Each of them represent their membership with great distinction and dedication. And each of them has helped deliver to the Nation's police officers more assistance, more life- saving assistance, more support than any other piece of legislation I can remember in my 22 years in the U.S. Senate.

Indeed, in the past 10 months, these individuals, representing the Nation's police, have helped bring unprecedented change to the country -- passing the Brady bill into law, which is now law tonight; passing the assault weapons ban, and passing a fully-funded crime bill which will add 100,000 police to the ranks, build 125,000 more prison cells, and extend a helping hand to literally millions of America's children throughout this Nation through such proven programs as Police Athletic Leagues, Boys and Girls Clubs and many other projects.

I have said on the floor, and I meant it sincerely, in the heat of the debate, these are the women and men who suggested to me and others the prevention programs that should be placed in there. And I have great respect for social workers. We should be doing more in that area. But they did not come from a group of social workers coming in and sitting down with me. They came from a bunch of hard-nosed cops who know the street, know the problems, coming in and setting down and saying, "Joe, this is what we have to do." So, I thank them because they know better than we do, than I do anyway, what the needs are. And I think it is, if not rare, at least rare in what I have worked on over the years, that we actually ask the people most affected and say, "What do you need?" And they told us. And the overwhelming majority of the U.S. Senate and the House of Representatives voted to give them what they believe they needed tonight.

Now, individuals in this group include -- and I have to say, you know, they are all equals -- but the first among equals has been, in my view, a guy named Bob Scully. Bob Scully has been a stand-up guy. Every time we have had a problem, he stood there and he has taken heat. And he has been willing to stand up.

But the beauty of this is, if in fact we find 2 years down the road that a particular program is not working the way we intended it to work, this is a trust fund. For 6 years, we have made this commitment.

The important thing tonight is we have made a commitment to the American people and the law enforcement community of this Nation that we were going to, as a Federal legislative body in the Federal Government, provide what they asked for -- a $30 billion 6-year commitment to put police and prisons and prevention programs back in the cities, none of which was controlled by the Federal Government. The only piece of this entire bill controlled directly by the Federal Government is the money for Federal prosecutors and Federal law enforcement officers, and money for drug treatment in Federal prisons -- an important part, but not the main part of this bill.

So it is my sincere hope, and my even more sincere belief, if that is possible, that we did a good thing tonight; that we did a good thing for the American people. One of my colleagues -- and I will conclude with this statement -- said to me, "Joe, what do you think about putting up with" -- and he was not talking about my colleagues, just putting up with, and I do not view it as "putting up" -- but "putting up with being in public life? Is it worth it?" I said, "These are the nights it is worth it." It is worth it tonight, because whether I am right or wrong, and only time will tell, I truly believe with all my heart we did something good. As a friend of mine would say, "We did something serious good" for the American people tonight. I hope that proves to be true.

Mr. President, just one comment or two. I think the words have been spoken tonight: "Sincere," "effort," "dedicated" and "good support." I think the American people will be much better off when we see the result of the long labor -- you might say a labor of love, but I do not think I could categorize it that way -- but it is has been a labor of interest and sincere desire to make life a little better, not necessarily for ourselves but for our children and the future. That is what it is all about.
