Mr. President, I ask the Senator from Colorado, how much time does the Senator seek?

I will yield myself a couple of minutes. I join with my colleague Senator Enzi in opposition to the Sanders amendment. We are all disturbed by a lot of what we are reading and these big settlements. I know the recent one a couple of weeks…

Mr. President, how much time is remaining on the Sanders amendment? The PRESIDING OFFICER. There is 7 minutes in opposition that remains on the Sanders amendment.

Since it is my time, I yield the Senator from Maryland 5 minutes on the underlying bill.

I am sorry, I was wrong. I thought the Senator wanted to speak on the Sanders amendment. She wanted to speak on the underlying bill itself?

Senator Mikulski was here earlier. She wants to speak on this amendment. If we just wait 5 minutes? The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Maryland.

Will the Senator from Oklahoma withhold? We have some people who want to speak. Once the time has run, then we automatically move on to another amendment and could bring up the Senator's amendment at that point.

Mr. President, I object. How much time is left on the Sanders amendment? The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Vermont has no time left. The Senator from Wyoming controls 10 minutes.

I think the Senator is making a lot of common sense. The only question I would ask is--and I don't know a lot about this. I haven't read the GAO report. But if, in fact, every employee says, I know they are going to get me on this…

Again, Mr. President, I have to ask, how much time remains on the bill for both sides? The PRESIDING OFFICER. The majority has 19 minutes and the minority has 29 minutes. The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Casey). The Senator from Vermont…

Mr. President, I just want to say, first of all, that I have the greatest respect, as he knows, for the Senator from Illinois. He is one of the true consumer champions in the entire Congress and has been for all of his time here. So it is…

Mr. President, how much time remains on this amendment? The PRESIDING OFFICER. Seven minutes in favor of the amendment.

I will make a short general statement about the bill. I talked about it in the past. I want every Senator to know that we are now on the FDA reauthorization bill. This is reauthorizing the prescription drug user fee, the medical device…

I reserve the remainder of my time on the bill. If the Senator from Illinois wishes to bring up his amendment, we can bring it up. Mr. President, again, I understand I have 24 minutes left. The PRESIDING OFFICER. That is correct.

Mr. President, how much time does this side have on the bill? The PRESIDING OFFICER. For general debate, 24\1/2\ minutes.

Mr. President, I thank the Senator from Utah for his concluding remarks regarding the amendment that I assume will be offered by the Senator from Illinois, as it is cleared to be offered. I thank Senator Hatch for his great leadership on…

Just one minor correction I would make, and that is under the DSHEA law, the FDA must approve any health claims made by any dietary supplement or vitamin. The only health claims they can make are structure function claims, but they have to…

Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum call be rescinded. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. Amendment No. 2126
