While Senator Graham is on the floor, I ask unanimous consent to have a colloquy with him about this section 1032, the section at issue. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.

No. I agree with what the Senator said and what the intent is here; that, hopefully, we could have an hour debate starting at 3 o'clock. We will try to lock that in at a later time, after giving folks notice. But if there is objection to…

It will continue to be our intent. It was objected to before. But we hope that objection will be removed. If it is not removed, we will have to have all these votes at the end of the day instead of during the day. Mr. McCAIN. So beginning…

Will the Senator refrain for 1 minute? While Senator Feinstein is here, I understand it is now preferable from our leader that the vote be at 2 o'clock, not immediately following this half-hour debate.

Before the Senator yields time to the Senator---- The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Michigan.

So it is agreeable, then, that there will be an hour of debate on the second amendment starting at 3 o'clock with a vote at 4 o'clock?

Reserving the right to object, I just want to know if the Senator from California understands that the vote on the second Feinstein amendment would be at 4:00 and that the debate would begin at 3:00, with that hour equally divided.

That is exactly the point. This language, when it is described as language that says somehow or other it works against using civilian courts, is from folks who haven't read our language. The language is explicit. On page 360, lines 3…

there is objection on this side, and I will attempt to bring together Senator Cornyn and the objectors so he can hear from them why they object, but in the meantime I object. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard. The Senator from…

On my time. Quick question. After the 30 minutes expires, because we are not going to have a vote now, there would be additional time should the Senator need it after that 30 minutes.

I ask unanimous consent that when we return to the bill, which will be after Senator Cornyn speaks, we move immediately to Feinstein amendment No. 1125, and that there be a 30- minute debate evenly divided and that the vote would occur…

I ask unanimous consent that the vote, which was previously scheduled to occur at the end of the half hour of debate on this amendment, now be rescheduled for 2 o'clock. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection? Without objection, it is…

I have no objection. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from California.

I understand there are other Senators who may be coming over to speak, and I will be happy to yield the floor whenever that happens because this is the time which is not structured before the scheduled vote at 2 p.m. But if I can continue…

relative to the time between that half hour and 2 o'clock, that time, hopefully, would be used. It will be by me for my remarks on this amendment, by the way, because after the 30 minutes, if it is used totally, I would want an opportunity…

I ask unanimous consent that upon the conclusion of the postcloture time, the pending germane Feinstein amendment, No. 1126, be the pending business; that the Senate proceed to vote in relation to the following Feinstein amendments in the…

this has not yet been ruled on. I want to modify very slightly what I said in the unanimous consent request. I said that the Senate proceed to votes in relation to the following Feinstein amendments. I should have said the Senate proceed…

I have two other unanimous consent requests before we turn this over to the Senator from California. I ask unanimous consent that it be in order to make a point of order en bloc against the list of amendments in violation of rule XXII that…

I have one more unanimous consent. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Michigan. Amendments Nos. 1290 and 1256 Withdrawn

I would ask that there be 5 additional minutes, evenly divided, so we could have 3 minutes left on our side. I would split that with the Senator from Illinois. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection?

a number of my colleagues have asked where we are. We are going to have probably three or four more rollcall votes, hopefully including final passage. There is also a package--and everyone should listen to this because at least 70 of us…

I very much support this amendment, I am a cosponsor, and I hope we can all vote for it. This does what we said-- those of us who wrote this bill--the bill does and does not do all along. It does not change current law. This amendment…

I think this can be accepted on a voice vote. I have great problems with it, but I think there is probably a majority here that will favor it and a distinct minority perhaps that would not. But it is something which basically doesn't add…

I move to reconsider the vote on the Leahy amendment. Mr. McCAIN. I move to lay that motion on the table. The motion to lay on the table was agreed to. Amendment No. 1202, As Modified The PRESIDING OFFICER. There will now be 2 minutes of…

there is a pending amendment which apparently the clerk will need to report at this point. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Udall amendment is pending.
