On the recordNovember 30, 2012
Mr. President, in a moment I am going to call up a list of nine amendments which have been cleared by Senator McCain and myself. We expect that there will be, in perhaps an hour or so, an additional list of perhaps 15 or 20 cleared amendments. Shortly thereafter it would be our expectation to propound a unanimous consent proposal with a finite list of amendments that would be considered before final passage. At the time we do that, we would give our colleagues perhaps 20 minutes after we read that proposed unanimous consent agreement to come to the floor, if they choose, and talk to us about it or, if they so choose, to object. We hope that will not happen, obviously. We worked very hard with colleagues. Nonetheless, that is the procedure we are planning on following. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senate will be in order. Amendments Nos. 3052, 3075, 3133, 3182, 3183, 3233, 3236, 3248, 3283 En Bloc
