in 1992, i was on the south face of mount mckinley, known as dinali. we were ten days in what was supposed to be a seven-days climb. we were out of food. the lesson i learned in that successful climb was that when you face 20 below temperatures and high winds, the only way home is overt top of the mountain. you've got to work together to accomplish the impossible. and when you do work together to accomplish the impossible, you find a way to make it happen. in some ways i feel like that's the choice that congress has to make as we face these challenging times. we can either work together and find a way up and over the summit passing legislation that will create jobs, fix our budget problems and start working on the problems that americans face every day. or we can keep fighting with each other and in effect starving the country of the leadership that i know congress can provide and that we must provide in these challenging times. so, madam president, as i close my remarks today, i ask my colleagues to join me in passing this straightforward, bipartisan
