And to have the Senators debate amendments. I know Senator Coburn will be here between now and 6 o'clock to debate the Leahy amendment. We don't need to protect him further since the time is equally divided, and he can have part of the half hour of time. But it is my hope that people who want to dispose of amendments will come after the 6 o'clock vote and bring these amendments to our attention, see if our staffs can make progress, clear amendments, and maybe package some votes for tomorrow morning. We can make progress after this vote if our colleagues will cooperate with us. Mr. McCAIN. I thank my friend, and I do not object. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. Amendment No. 2955 (Purpose: To improve the Public Safety Officers' Benefits Program)
