Judd Gregg

I will not yield. I yielded to the Senator for 30 minutes when he asked for 10, and to tell you the truth, I don't think that was consistent with the comity of the Senate.

Point of order: No question was asked by the Senator from North Dakota. Is it correct to have an interchange of this nature?

As the Senator knows, I did yield to the Senator to make an opening statement. The understanding was it would be for about 10 minutes. It has been about 15 now. I am wondering if the Senator is planning on going on for an extended period…

After the Senator from South Carolina speaks, I intend to speak for 15 minutes and offer an amendment. Then it would be back to your side for whatever time you wish to take, so about half an hour from now.

I want to get the amendment in the queue. I will offer the amendment and then I will let the Senator from North Dakota yield to you for whatever you need for an opening statement--15 minutes?

In a few minutes, under the regular order, we will proceed to the deficit reduction bill. ____________________

I ask if the Senator would allow me to propound a unanimous consent request so that I might speak at the conclusion of the speakers she has on her side.

I wish to join with all my colleagues and with America in expressing our condolences to the Rehnquist family and, obviously, our great appreciation for his extraordinary service to this Nation. I hope at a later date to put in a more…

I assure you, I understand problems such as those being faced by the citizens of southern Utah.

The committee has set aside the funding to encourage new technologies in the area of explosives detection systems and is not necessarily limited to one or two companies. TSA has assured the committee this language does not restrict them…

Is the Senator comfortable with the three we just sent over? I would ask the Chair if the Senator has seen the three I mentioned for unanimous consent. Mr. McCAIN. I am looking at them now. I do not object to 1110 now that I have seen it.

At this point I raise a point of order under section 302(f) of the Congressional Budget Act that the amendment provides spending in excess of the subcommittee's 302(b) allocation.
