we are waiting for Senator Cornyn to come to the floor, and he will be speaking on the modified Cornyn amendment. We also are waiting for Senator Inhofe to come to the floor, and he will be speaking on a Hagan amendment. Then we would expect, after a fairly short amount of debate--perhaps 10 minutes but not set yet--by each of them, perhaps a minute or two by the sponsors of the amendment, particularly in the case of the Hagan amendment, to describe the amendment, we would then go to a rollcall vote on both of those amendments. That is the plan. It is not yet in a UC agreement formally because we want to make sure we are protecting the Senators in terms of the length of time they need to describe either their opposition to the Hagan amendment in the case of Senator Inhofe or their support of the Cornyn amendment in the case of Senator Cornyn. We hope Senator Klobuchar will now be recognized for a few minutes to describe a couple of amendments she has filed. She is not going to call them up at this point, but this would be a period for her to describe those two amendments. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Minnesota.
