On the recordNovember 28, 2011
I see that Senator Webb is on the floor. I know he is going to be making some remarks in a few moments. I would urge other colleagues of ours to do the same. We are in a period now where debate is in order on any of the amendments, whether they are pending or not pending or whether they have been filed and not been made pending. This is an opportunity which is going to end, hopefully, on Wednesday morning when we vote cloture. We must get this bill passed. It is critically important to our men and women in uniform. They deserve to have a defense authorization bill passed. So I would urge colleagues who have amendments they have filed to come to the floor this afternoon to debate their amendments. I yield the floor. The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Coons). The Senator from Virginia.
