to thank the gentleman, i want to again say that neil bradley did an excellent job working with john hughs and my staff and the financial services staff, mr. frank, mrs. mccarthy, mr. miller's staff and the senate. i think we did what we ought to do more of, we passed a bill which as you know my party supported unanimously because we believe it does in fact make us more competitive in the international marketplace. and will help keep and grow jobs. so i want to thank the gentleman for his work on that and again thank mr. bradley and mr. hughs for their work on that and hopefully the senate will act on that with dispatch. unless the gentleman wants to say anything further, i'll yield back. mr. cantor: mr. speaker, i just join the gentleman in thanking both our staffs. they did tremendous work as well as mr. miller on the financial services committee and the staff there, mr. bachus' staff. your office can be instrumental i think in helping move the senate along. and -- but everyone from the chief of staff on down, in your office, we want to thank you as well for your team's commitment to working in a very -- again, a very difficult equation

neil and -- was leader of the labor party. >> okay. can i deal with the sun piece in 1997 which you refer to in paragraph 13. i think we saw this with mr. murdoch himself. the actual piece which mr. blair wrote shortly before the 1997 election. was in march 1997. it was made clear to me by the editor that if mr. blair were to emphasize the point that there would be no entry into the euro without a specific referendum on the, that he understood people's fears about so-called european superstate. it was likely to be the final piece of the jigsaw before mr. murdoch agreed the paper would back labor. you describe that as purely a question of rhetoric. but wasn't that specifically a matter of policy or at least something which mr. blair did which he would not otherwise have perhaps wanted to do? >> no. in terms of -- the policy was already set. the policy was set. and we did have a discussion. i remember we did have a discussion about whether it was sensible to do this piece at that time. and as i say, i go on to say that it was fantastically irritating on one level. we have to go through these kind of routines. we'd be daft not to try it.
