Mike Levin: “We are trying to accommodate colleagues and make sure you are…”

On the recordNovember 14, 2005

We are trying to accommodate colleagues and make sure you are protected. I suggest the following: the Senator from Massachusetts speak for a half hour; the Senator from Connecticut speak for 10 minutes, unless the Senator from South Carolina knows of someone on his side; and then if our people or a person on their side, Mr. President, needs some time, the 4:30 p.m. shift to the appropriations bill be delayed by 5 or 10 minutes to accommodate the Republican side. I can't think of anything better without knowing exactly who wants to speak.
