You have agreed and the majority and minority have agreed to several changes that have, in my judgment, greatly improved the [anti-terrorism] bill, left it a very effective law enforcement effort. … And we have been able to do that by working together between Thursday and today. Another week would make it do even better. It’s no criticism of your work product to note that no one can excogitate the perfect [antiterrorism] bill here, and working together helped. (Rep. Barney Frank (speaker), Media Coverage of Activities Regarding Government Response to Terrorism, Talk of the Nation (NPR), 09/24/2001.)
