“there are pieces of the bill he [Clinton] doesn't like, that's why we're going to have a conference, Chairman Archer will be there, making a passionate argument. I'm sure that [Treasury] Secretary [Robert] Rubin will be there making some convoluted and complex idea that none of us will understand, but it will be an interesting negotiation, and I look forward to Bill [Archer] being successful. Then at the end of the day, I think the president will sign the bill.”
