“Postcloture, for instance, there might be some amendments with regard to African trade. I wonder if there might be some way we could get an agreement. I worry about it getting agreed to, because I am not sure the Senator from South Carolina would agree to it, where some of those amendments, while they are not germane, would not be in order postcloture, they certainly relate to what we are trying to do. I would certainly like to have some way found for amendments such as that, if they exist. I could think of a couple I have heard of that ought to be offered. I will be glad to work with the Senator to try to find a way to see if we can at least do that and get it cleared. But we do have a problem with objections. We can see if we can get it agreed to, and we can try to get it agreed to, if we can get something worked out that we can offer. Then if it is objected to, we just have to deal with that.”
