There is objection. On behalf of Senator Landrieu, I object. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard.

Mr. President, on behalf of Senator Landrieu, I would object. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard.

Reserving the right to object, let me indicate, as the manager of this bill, I appreciate the advice we are receiving from the Senator from Oklahoma, and we will certainly look forward to working with him and receiving his advice. We are…

Yes, there is a question. If I might say to my friend I am hearing that he is desiring to work with us in order to get together a list. Is that correct?

Let me first say that if I am hearing the Senator right, he will work with us to move forward on a unanimous consent request on a list of amendments. I certainly would welcome his doing that. I also do need to indicate we spent last week…

On behalf of Senator Landrieu, I object. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard.

I realize the Senator from Oklahoma has the floor and he wishes to continue with his amendments. I wish to speak to all the Members who are on the floor as well as those who are in their offices, because, as everyone knows--again, to…

Mr. President, if I might, I say to the Senator, we will work with you and look at the intent, and it is the intent. I would also just in passing indicate that hopefully we will have an opportunity, as we come to a universe of amendments…

Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs be authorized to meet during the session of the Senate on June 4, 2013, at 10 a.m., to conduct a hearing entitled ``Iran Sanctions: Ensuring…

Mr. Speaker, as a fifth-generation Montanan and sportsman, I know how special the Treasure State is. Our State's rivers and mountains and our outdoor heritage are an important part of every Montanan's way of life and play an important part…

Mr. President, I thank my friend. Before the Senator proceeds with his unanimous consent request, I would ask the Senator if he would agree that when we brought the farm bill to the floor the last time, we had 73 votes and it was done in a…

I have good news for the Senator. On page 309 of the bill, based on the fact that we took the amendments from last time, his language is in the bill. It was part of the 73 amendments that were offered. As I indicated earlier, we included…

Mr. President, I see my distinguished ranking member on the floor. We are proceeding in our work on the farm bill this morning. As we are moving through, we have a lot of discussions going on, working to get agreement on both sides to be…

Mr. President, will the Senator yield for actually a question and a clarification?

Reserving the right to object, that is, unfortunately, an unrealistic motion from my perspective. We have to work with Members. Many Members, including the Senator who is speaking, have multiple amendments and we need to get a list of…

Mr. President, when Governor Christine Gregoire signed the Washington State marriage equality bill into law last year, it was a day of joy for all of the loving, committed LGBT couples of Washington--and for all who love, respect, and…

Madam President, I thank the Senator from Arizona for his very heartfelt remarks. I know he and I do not agree on a lot, but we do agree that we want this country to work because the alternative is not great. The way for this country to…

Madam President, I ask unanimous consent to speak as in morning business. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. Unanimous Consent Request--H. Con. Res. 25
