On the recordJuly 31, 2014
Mr. President, before Senator Corker leaves the floor, I want to make sure I understand because maybe there is a window of opportunity to revisit this. I want to make sure I heard what he said. It was my clear understanding--and the Senator said he does not know why I thought this--that my friend would not object to this if it came to the floor. I had staff conversations. I know the Senator is saying after it came out of committee, but there were other conversations I am privy to staff to staff. So let me say that. Is it my friend's interest to go and talk to Senator Barrasso in particular--a friend of mine--and see whether he was just going to use these amendments as talking points? If, in fact, he was not going to do that, call for a vote, and he stands down, would my friend allow us to get this done tonight just given the moment in time in which we find ourselves at this late hour?
