But that is not who is going to decide. We are not going to make the decision that the person is going to be given or not given civilian interrogation. That decision is going to be made by a President who sets the procedures for…

That is exactly what we provide in this amendment. That is the question Senator McCain just asked: If this administration or any administration decides that they want to provide the civilians with opportunity to interrogate, for whatever…

We make it flexible. This is something which I heard today from the supporters of this amendment. They want flexibility.
Nov 17, 2011
There was nothing wrong with that. That was the choice of the executive branch. It worked here.

The Christmas Day Bomber, I believe he was taken off that plane in Detroit, he was interrogated by the FBI; is that correct?

Which is the one currently being reviewed, if the Senator is able to share that with us.

I wonder if the Senator from California might offer those amendments right now and call them up so we can get a vote on them. We are trying to vote on amendments, and I am wondering if she could call up one of those amendments, we could…

First, let me thank Senator Whitehouse for the extraordinary effort he has made to go after counterfeit parts. We have incorporated his legislation in our legislation. It is a critically important part of our legislation. But his…

If we did not have somebody here, we were going to do it two at a time. Mr. McCAIN. Yes. I think it is the other side's turn. The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mrs. McCaskill). The Senator from Rhode Island.
Nov 17, 2011
You had two, I believe. You were the second, I think. Mr. McCAIN. I think what the chairman meant was, there would be two if----
Nov 17, 2011
I don't want you to agree if you think it is not fair. Mr. McCAIN. You know it is not fair. If you have a speaker, bring them up.
Nov 17, 2011
In that case, I note the absence of a quorum. Mr. McCAIN. I would agree to that, but it is not fair.
Nov 17, 2011
I wonder if we can amend the unanimous consent agreement. There is nobody that I know of on this side at the moment who wants to speak in support of the amendment, so I am wondering if it would be agreeable to the ranking member to have…

We explicitly wrote into this bill the following language: that the procedures providing for the determination that somebody is an Al-Qaida terrorist or related, affiliated one is not required to be implemented until after the conclusion…

Well, we do need to consult with those committees. That is underway. I am hopeful the committees and their leaders will take a prompt look at this and see if there is any problem with the language from the perspective of their committees…
Nov 17, 2011
Surely. Mr. McCAIN. Is it not also true that as the Senator mentioned, and I wish to emphasize, that Senator Whitehouse's Combating Counterfeiting Military Act is a part of this bill, so that would hopefully satisfy at least the Judiciary…

I now, with pleasure, yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Georgia (Mr. Bishop). (Mr. BISHOP of Georgia asked and was given permission to revise and extend his remarks.)

It is now my real pleasure to yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from California (Mr. Filner), a gentleman who has worked so hard on veterans issues.
Oct 27, 2011
Does the majority have additional speakers? If so, I reserve the balance of my time.
Oct 27, 2011
In closing, I support this legislation. It should not have been passed in the first place. It was not vetted effectively by the then majority. It's time. We tried before. It's time to now support this bill. I yield back the balance of my…
Oct 20, 2011
An inquiry. I will not object. Does that mean 60 votes are required under the current order and continue to be required?
Oct 12, 2011
I thank the Senator from Louisiana. I ask unanimous consent that immediately after Senator Vitter has completed his statement I be recognized for up to 30 minutes, and that I may yield time during that 30-minute period to Senators on this…
Oct 12, 2011
That's all it will take. The issue is clear: Act. Act. You must stand up and be counted. This is the moment on currency for every Member of the House.
Oct 12, 2011
It is my pleasure to yield 1\1/2\ minutes to the gentleman from California (Mr. Costa).
Oct 12, 2011
I now yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Wisconsin (Mr. Kind). (Mr. KIND asked and was given permission to revise and extend his remarks.)
