Madam President, we have had two votes in this tranche; first vote about 50 minutes from start to close and the second vote about 25 minutes. We are going to propound a unanimous consent request--and I am tempted to do it right now--to try to figure out what would be reasonable. My sense is that maybe 15 minutes would be reasonable but a real 15 minutes, and we will start with that.
