Would he please offer amendments. If he doesn't like this bill, offer amendments to take out the money, and then you can tell the people back home, you can tell the policemen, you can tell the firefighters, you can tell the health personnel, you can tell the people at the local level, that their safety doesn't matter. Their safety doesn't matter. What the administration says is apparently what matters. But the administration was wrong last year. The Senate was right last year. The administration is wrong this year, and the Senate is right this year. So I urge Senators to vote for cloture and then let's vote on the amendments.
