Yes, I object. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Utah's objection is heard. The Senator from Utah.

Mr. President, I offer up a counteroffer. I am fine with the other two EEOC Commissioners. If that is what we are worried about--the ability of the EEOC to do its business--fine. I ask unanimous consent that the Senate proceed to the en…

Mr. President, reserving the right to object, I first want to note that it has been suggested that there is only one objection to Chai Feldblum's nomination to the EEOC. That is not true. I am among those objectors; I am not the lone…

Mr. President, in reserving the right to object, we have a bill here that we received at 10 o'clock this morning, and it is 680- pages long. I have spent many hours reviewing it. This is a bill that came out of the committee on which I…

Mr. President, all I am asking is for the language that I have asked for--two words, the words ``for Utah''--to be added to this legislation. I am asking to be treated on equal footing as the language proposed by the Senator from Colorado…

Mr. President, reserving the right to object, I first became aware of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis when I was in the fifth grade, and I read a story, a book, and later a series of books about my childhood hero Lou Gehrig, whose name is…

Mr. President, I respectfully, most vehemently disagree with the characterization made by my distinguished colleague, the Senator from Rhode Island. This is not, with all due respect, an instance of ``we can't help anyone until we help…

In no way, shape, or form am I making the argument that we cannot help anyone until we help everyone. That is a mischaracterization of the argument I am making. I am arguing that if, among and between these 233 categories, we can make no…

I thank the Senator. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The majority leader. ____________________

Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the joint resolution be considered read a third time. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. The joint resolution was ordered to be engrossed for a third reading and was read…

Mr. President, we have eight votes, two of which I think we may be able to take. I hope that those who wish to have votes may talk just a little bit so that we can speed up the process. The first vote will be 15 minutes; the remainder of…
