On the recordNovember 30, 2012
Mr. President, on these amendments of Senator Sessions and Senator Webb--and, by the way, I thoroughly and totally join Senator Sessions in his commends about Senator Webb. I think he spoke for the entire body when he made those comments. We had agreed that we would do the following: There are a number of changes which need to be made in this amendment which the sponsors have agreed to. There are some additional concerns about this amendment, which we believe we can take care of in conference. So the suggestion was made to Senator Sessions and Senator Webb that we voice vote this at this time, and we address some of those concerns and modifications in conference, and I would suggest that we do that at this time. The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Is there further debate on the amendment? If not, the question is on agreeing to the amendment. The amendment (No. 3009) was agreed to. The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The Senator from Michigan.
