Mike Levin

If there is an amendment filed tonight by 7:30. It could be offered as a second degree at some later time, but it has to be filed tonight by 7:30.

Senator Portman, I believe, wishes to speak relative to an amendment? I believe the Senator from Ohio wishes to speak relative to an amendment? I ask Senator Portman be recognized for--how many minutes, may I ask the Senator?

The Senator, we expect now, will be calling up his amendment. And may I, though, correct what I said before. It is possible that there will be a need for a rollcall vote on the Whitehouse amendment. Amendment No. 3180

We are now going to turn to an amendment of Senator Whitehouse which has been cleared. We have worked to make sure everybody understands that he is going to proceed to the amendment. And then I understand there is not going to be a need…

I believe Senator Portman may be ready with an amendment that has been cleared and, I believe, can be voice-voted. I am wondering if my friend from Ohio could confirm my understanding that he is ready to proceed and that he is willing to…

I wonder if we could ask unanimous consent at this point to take up the Inhofe amendment. We know of no objection to it. Rather than setting any amendment aside, just simply send it to the desk. Is the amendment at the desk? Just call up…

I wish now to call up a list of nine amendments, which have been cleared by myself and the ranking member, by Senator McCain: Webb amendment No. 2948, Sessions amendment No. 2962, Inhofe amendment No. 2971, Casey amendment No. 2986, Murray…

I think Senator Cornyn only needs about 5 minutes. We have cleared that amendment. There is support for it. Senator Hagan only needs, I believe, 5 minutes. That means that in about 10 minutes---- Mr. McCAIN. Ten minutes we will be ready to…

That means we would be voting on the amendment of Senator Cornyn first, the amendment of Senator Hagan second. I yield the floor. Mr. McCAIN. That will take approximately 30 minutes? Before the vote?

If the Senator would yield, we thank him for noting that. Senator Hagan did have an opportunity last night to go into her amendment, and she was willing to do that at that time. We understood that, of course, the Senator would like an…

Before Senator Reed leaves the floor, I want to first thank him for his comments about myself and Senator McCain and the other members of our committee. Senator Reed of Rhode Island has and will continue to make--and, hopefully, for many…

Two things. No. 1, we are going to proceed to the rollcall vote in a moment, and with Senator McCain's support and consent, I would like to let our colleagues know we will be here after this vote. That doesn't mean there will be any…

It would be my hope that after this vote, we would be able to clear amendments, perhaps---- Mr. McCAIN. Debate.

Can I ask the Senator from Montana if he wishes to speak on the Udall amendment?

If there is no further business to come before the Senate, I ask unanimous consent that it adjourn under the previous order. There being no objection, the Senate, at 7:12 p.m., adjourned until Tuesday, November 27, 2012, at 10 a.m.

We hope to consider the disabilities treaty during tomorrow's session. ____________________

As my colleague knows, today's legislation includes reporting requirements on all of Russia's commitments they made prior to joining the WTO, including the reduction of tariffs and other commitments related to manufacturing sectors. I will…
