Mr. President, Senator Capito and I have a couple of comments we would like to offer before we start on this amendment with Senator Lee, and that is we have consulted with both leaders, with Senator Schumer and Senator McConnell. They are in agreement that 15 minutes firm is the vote. So when we start this vote, folks have 15 minutes to get here after we start the vote to vote, and if they are not here, they are too late. So that is the idea. We have spent way too much time waiting for people. We have three amendments lined up, and we are going to vote them and be punctual. Senator Capito.
