Political Quotes

“It will continue to be our intent. It was objected to before. But we hope that objection will be removed. If it is not removed, we will have to have all these votes at the end of the day instead of during the day. Mr. McCAIN. So beginning at 3, whether we have a unanimous consent agreement--because the Feinstein amendment is very important--I would ask, informally, if we do not have a unanimous consent agreement, that we have an hour equally divided beginning at 3 so we can debate the second Feinstein amendment. In the meantime, as the chairman said, we will try to dispense with voice votes and other agreed-upon amendments, and perhaps even maybe a recorded vote if necessary on one of the amendments. I would remind my colleagues, we run out of time at 6 o'clock this evening, and we would rather do it in a measured fashion, allowing recorded votes or debate before those recorded votes, because those pending amendments will be voted on after 6 p.m. tonight. I hope I did not say anything the chairman does not agree with. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Michigan.”
