“We have discussed that back and forth. We tried to again, in a bipartisan way, figure the best way to deal with this, the fairest way, and also the way that would hopefully not lead to the largest number of amendments. We really think that we may actually wind up having fewer amendments finally voted on tomorrow by doing it this way. We tried it the other way. Bear with us as we try it this way. Again I urge, unless you just really feel you have to have a vote on your amendment tomorrow I urge you, and I will be saying it on this side--but but if you feel strongly, you can talk about it tonight and offer your amendment tomorrow.”
