If I can go back and make inquiry of my good friend from South Carolina, I think he has focused, along with the cosponsors, on something which is critically important, and that is reliance on the Army manual so everybody knows the roadmap…
Whatever the Senator needs is fine. Then I would be offering two amendments, if that is agreeable with the Senator from Virginia.
If we could work out votes, we were willing to do that, but I think it is becoming clear that is not going to happen.
Then I would make inquiry also from my friend from Virginia. I understand that the Republican TV monitor has already indicated no votes tonight. Is that correct?
Right. So he has the right to go next. I would ask, if it is convenient for the Senator from Florida, that after Senator Graham, I will ask unanimous consent that the Senator from Florida be recognized to introduce his amendment at that…
I would have to check with our leadership on that. In terms of continuing tonight, I surely would be happy to do that, but let me check with our leaders.
I mentioned to Senator Warner I would be saying this. He suggested the possibility of votes tonight. My response to him privately, and now publicly, is we would be happy to try to see if we could work out additional amendments that are…
We are ready to proceed on a number of amendments, but we are going to withhold those as an accommodation to, I gather, a lot of folks here who want to go out right now. We will then offer the amendment on the Berlin cafe which has not yet…
Could we then amend the unanimous consent request to include Senator Sessions immediately following Senator Salazar, then it would go to Senator Dorgan. The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so ordered. The Senator…
I would ask Senator Sessions if he could give us an idea as to about how long he would be so Senator Dorgan could plan his time.
I commend my friend from Virginia for his temperament, his ability to withhold any suggestion of personal comment. He is to be commended. He is literally a role model for that. The Senator from Virginia is correct. He showed great care for…
And an even more distinguished list of opponents. Just kidding. The hour is late.
I hope the Senator from South Dakota, if available tomorrow or Monday, if there is further debate on this amendment, might be present or be able to listen to the debate so he could respond to it.
That means that while the Senator sets forth arguments for why all this information is essential before a congressional decision, the Presidential decision would be made before all of this information is available?
We are attempting to find a time for that amendment which fits not just the Senate schedule but a very important personal need, which I think the Senator from Virginia is aware of, of one of the cosponsors. We do have many amendments that…
I join in those concerns, and I agree that there should be some response tonight.
I assume that in addition to the debate taking place tonight on this amendment, it could also take place tomorrow, along with a number of other amendments which at least will be debated tomorrow. I hope this might be one of those…
Now, I assume this amendment will be laid aside similar to other pending amendments.
To clarify that, regardless of what is pending, at 4:30, we will move to the Lugar amendment, and we will vote on that amendment at 6:30, and then return to whatever the pending matters are.
I wonder if we could reach a time agreement on this amendment to give everybody an idea as to time. We are hoping it will be accepted. It is a terrific amendment. I am wondering if the chairman might consider a time limit.
My reference was to any Federal agency, which means any grant agency, not just Appropriations, which the Senator from Illinois referred to, but any Federal agency, which means any agency that makes any grant to any youth organization…
I wonder if the good Senator will also share the amendment with the chairman and the ranking member in the Banking Committee, both.
He would just lay down an amendment prior to Senator Kennedy speaking and then he would pick up after the vote.
I am afraid I didn't hear that request. Are the speakers that have been identified speaking on the pending amendment?
I thank Senator Reid for his support of this important research and join with my colleague from Michigan in supporting this project. As the ranking member knows, Western Michigan University, Altair Nanomaterials and the University of…
