As I recall, it took close to a decade to get the 1976 Act through 
because of a number of issues that were difficult to resolve (computer 
software, I believe, was one), but in those days it was possible to get 
a lot done across party lines until all the issues were sufficiently 
resolved to get the thing passed.
