Pete Domenici: “I will yield quickly, but I want to try to get the record straight with Senators so they will know where we are…”

“I will yield quickly, but I want to try to get the record straight with Senators so they will know where we are timewise. We are in postcloture where every Senator has a certain amount of time. By consent today, we are taking 6 hours, 3 hours to those in favor and 3 hours to those against. I am in charge of the 3 hours in favor, and Senator Bingaman, so far, has been the only one who has spoken. But he is in charge of the time on the opposition. He might give us some of his 3 hours today if we run out, or we would ask the leader. I have a lot of speakers. In any event, Senator Bond asked to be next. He is here. Senator Sessions is speaking for our side. We will go back and forth. Senator Sessions asked he be next on our side. And the senior Senator from Alabama who is here, also, would like to speak next. How much time does Senator Bond want?”
