On the recordMarch 8, 2006
Those who would like to be heard, we want to make sure they can be heard. I would be glad to yield my own floor time so they can comment. I do have some comments I would like to make, and I will ask unanimous consent--I will do it then--that we set aside the Reid amendment so that we can have one offered by Senator Santorum, and we can begin debate on that. The emphasis will be on the Reid amendment, if you want to check that and make sure you are OK with that. I see one potential speaker. In order to try to keep things moving, we are going to try to get another amendment offered, and we will alternate back and forth.
