Madam President, there is a lot of discussion about energy going on. The President spoke about it this morning. It is nice to hear us all saying the same thing; that this country should have an all-of-the-above energy policy. It is a…
Mr. President, on roll call vote number 28, I too voted aye and it was my intention to vote no. I ask unanimous consent that I be permitted to change the vote since it will not affect the outcome. It is for exactly the same reason that…
