As the nation was "on the verge of sending" young Americans to war, Simpson said, and "our national credibility was on the line," he and Dole got a late-night visit from Gore in the Republican Senate Cloakroom the evening before the debate was to begin.

Simpson said Gore came "right to the point" of his visit: "How much time will you give me if I support the president?" Gore asked.

"In layman's terms, Gore was asking how much debate time we would be willing to give him to speak on the floor if he voted with us," Simpson said.

After learning that Democrats were prepared to give Gore just seven minutes to speak, Dole offered him 15 minutes and Simpson said he would give Gore five minutes of his own time, totaling 20 minutes.

"Gore seemed pleased, but made no final commitment, promising only to think it over," Simpson said.

"Sen. Gore played hard to get. He had received his time. But now he wanted prime time ... and Sen. Dole and I knew it," said the former Wyoming senator.

Dole instructed GOP Senate Secretary Howard Greene to call Gore's Senate office and promise "that he would try to schedule Gore's 20 minutes during prime time, thus ensuring plenty of time in the news cycle," Simpson said.

Later, when Gore called Greene inquiring whether Dole had scheduled his prime time speaking slot for 20 minutes, the GOP Senate secretary said nothing had been finalized.

Gore "erupted," Simpson said.

"Damn it, Howard, if I don't get 20 minutes tomorrow I'm going to vote the other way," Gore said, according to Simpson.
