Political Quotes

“Mr. President, at this time I know Senators are interested in coming to the floor and offering their amendments. We have been discussing a process forward on this side of the aisle. Earlier in the day Senator Fischer had been working on an amendment that she has agreed to modify. I understand that the other side has a side-by-side that they will ask for consideration on. I know the Senator from Louisiana will be on the floor to speak on an amendment he would like considered, and I understand there are a couple of other Senators on the other side who wish to speak as well. There will be no more votes today on these amendments, but again, given the interest in this subject, I encourage Members to come down and speak to their amendments. We would like to figure out that process to get a series of amendments pending. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Washington.”
