On the recordJuly 14, 2015
reserving the right to object, this is a very important amendment that was thoroughly discussed in the education committee when we considered this legislation. Both Senator Murray and I believe it should be offered on the floor and that Senators should have a chance to vote on it. The trouble is that the Finance Committee objects to the way it is paid for. And in a moment, on behalf of the chairman, Senator Hatch, the Senator from Utah, I will have to object. But my hope would be that the Senator from Pennsylvania, who is a member of that committee, could work with the chairman and the ranking member to come up with a different way of paying for the bill so that Senators would have a chance to vote on this important amendment today or tomorrow. So I object. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard.
