JUNE 7, 2001 The Democrats had their first full day of power in the Senate on Wednesday and as usual, some very important and very exciting events occured. Among them:
- Majority Leader Tom Daschle of South Dakota promised to work across party lines. Fashion report not available at press time.
- Jim Jeffords (I-Vt.) seemed lost when he went to find his desk but suddenly remember he's sitting with the Democrats now.
- Robert Byrd, 83, of West Virginia was named President pro tempore, making him third in line of Presidential succession.
- Some sort of vote or other was taken.
