Despite the fact that there is limited time left, ... we still expect that our contract will be resolved well before midnight tonight.

We will not sell out the unborn.

We have no progress to report. That's not good because we have precious little time before the deadline approaches.

We will not delay this deadline.

An agreement will never ever, ever, ever be resolved by fear and intimidation.

We are very confident that this package will meet with the approval of the members, ... It answers many of their needs, many of their urgent pleas, especially in the area of health coverage.
