He said opponents of the lifting of sanctions did not have the numbers to override a presidential veto of legislation mandating additional economic sanctions. He also briefly commented on the confirmation hearing for Supreme Court Nominee and U.S. Court of Appeals Judge Clarence Thomas. He said it appeared likely that Judge Thomas would be confirmed.
