and mike enzi never did that. one of the things mike enzi taught me was the 80/20 rule. we all heard of 80/20 rules in various context. his 80/20 rule is work on the 80% where you can agree and put the 20% where you disagree to the side. he was able to do that throughout his career. he was famous before i got here but he was famous for working with senator ted kennedy of massachusetts. when they were both on the help committee. and i said mike, how did you -- how did you get along with ted kennedy? he said it was easy, 80/20. we put the 20% aside where we knew we were going to differ and we worked on the 80% where we could. and if everybody applied that principle around here, we would get a lot more done. he was also a principled senator. indeed, he would have been on the floor today making a point of order about the budget -- supplemental budget that we just passed because he believed in the principle of the budget act, he believed in the principle of balancing budgets, he was an accountant, and he was as principled man. and he was also decent and kind, as i mentioned.
