but despite the support from then-president bill clinton, republican leader and majority leader trent lott exroim was elusive -- compromise was elusive and the finance committee did not act before the november election. so then we had the 2000 election. this was a big issue, and it was a big issue probably more for republicans because we controlled the united states senate. we lost five republican senators incumbents because people didn't pay attention to this being a major issue. and hence, to remind you what i opened with, i don't want senators to make that same mistake this year. the american people were obviously disappointed in the lack of action back there in 2000, and it showed. but as we have to do when there's grassroots support like there was then, we marched on to find a path forward but building consensus was not easy. and i was chairman during part of that time between the years 2000 and 2003. i wasn't chairman all that time because the congress -- the senate flipped to democrat majority when senator jeffords of vermont changed from republican to democrat. but between these ye
