“I find the Democratic leader's proposal to be too short a leash, but this Senator would not object if we met the two objectives called for of enough time to sift through the late-arriving papers and the ability to interview witnesses who are currently unavailable.

My objection is to the cutoff date in the proposal made by the Democratic leader which I think is too short a leash.”
