Mr. President, first of all, facts are facts. Less than 50 percent of the bill had anything to do with roads and bridges, airports and seaports. We were told all along it was going to be paid for; it wasn't. The Congressional Budget Office confirmed that. So facts are facts. On top of that, the majority leader could have, if these were important nominees, as my colleagues keep saying they are, they could have filed cloture and done these nominees. I mean, think of what we have done this last 2 weeks that we have been up here. Very few nominees have come through. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Montana.
