On the recordJuly 24, 2003
I have three amendments. But I do not want to vote on my amendments in a stack. For my amendments, I want to have them voted on each after the debate on that particular amendment. I think that is the better way. I think whatever debate we can have on an amendment--I will say my amendment, and I have three--is fresh in the minds of those Senators who have been listening, or those who will listen, who are able to listen in their offices. I don't like stacked votes, as far as any amendments I have are concerned. Stacked votes may be for the convenience of Members, but, in my judgment, we are not here necessarily for the convenience of Members. We are here in this forum to debate and to act upon amendments that are in the interests of the Nation, as we see them. So for the information of the distinguished manager, I do have three amendments, but I want to call them up whenever I can have votes on them following the debate.
