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…

Mr. President, I could not agree more with my colleague from Arizona. There have been rumors swirling around here for 3 weeks--for example, when the tax legislation was being negotiated--that somehow or other there was some deal in the…

I certainly do. I will terminate my conversation here by also adding one other point to my response to my colleague from Arizona about a letter from the President. The problem right now is that such a letter, if it confirmed we were going…

Madam President, I say to Senator Kerry, you have asked me a serious question, which requires more than just a yes or no answer.

Mr. President, I thank my colleague for the question because it sets up a perfect reason why this amendment is necessary. The Russians interpret the preamble as the basis for their legal argument that they can withdraw from the treaty if…

Mr. President, I would say to my colleague, maybe 10 minutes is all. I wish to respond to four particular points that have been made here. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Arizona.

I will enjoy the colloquy we have when we do get around to it. Mr. President, we don't have time to get into a lot of detail, but there is the question of verification. This is one of the other major matters people have written about…
Dec 17, 2010
I am always happy to yield to my friend, and we always engage in interesting colloquies. I had indicated that, as a predicate to amendments, several of us had opening statements we would like to give. I am ready to go to amendments, but…
