I thank the Senator from California. She and I will talk some more. I think we have stated the similarity in our positions, which is our opposition to the Cotton amendment, and the difference in our positions. She sees it as intricately related to the Iran nuclear agreement, which she passionately supports, and I see it as a separate issue because I oppose the Iran agreement. I don't think we will work that out in public here over the next hour and a half, so I suggest we continue our conversations between us, the majority, and the Democratic leader, and see where we get by 5:30 p.m. My hope is that we can dispose of the Cotton amendment, finish the bill, and get on with the other important business of the Senate sooner rather than later. I thank the Senator. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Oregon. Remembering Bob Bennett
