I believe this understanding for this 108th Congress is fair to both sides of the aisle. With this agreement, I am grateful that we are able to proceed with assigning committee seats and that we will be able to begin what we are here to accomplish and what we are all about in this Nation's business. I do want to thank Members on both sides of the aisle for their patience as we have worked constructively to- gether-Democrat and Republican-to accomplish what we are about to do. I particularly thank the Democratic leader, and, as I mentioned this morn- ing and I think he mentioned as well late last night and throughout the course of today, we have had both of our staffs working together very close- ly. So I thank the Democratic leader for his efforts. Mr. President, I ask unanimous con- sent that the pending resolution be modified with the change that I now send to the desk. The PRESIDING OFFICER.
