I cannot agree with that. I simply don't know who else might want to speak to it. With the amount of people speaking to this tonight and the fact that presumably we will come back on this Sunday or Monday, I would not anticipate personally--though it is not my amendment--that there would be a tremendous amount of debate left and it would not be our intention to hold off a vote; however, there may be people who want to speak to it, and I may want to have something. Mr. President, might I also say that Senator Thune would like to have 15 minutes tonight. I think that is the best way. Then perhaps we can talk offline.
