Mr. President, hopefully, I say to my friend from New Mexico, when we come back on the 25th we will engage in more of this discussion. I should yield the floor. I wanted to raise that question about consensus because it sounds so good, and we all love consensus. Of course we do. But sometimes we cannot get it. Does that mean then that the majority cannot act if they do not get consensus of over 60? Does that mean the majority simply cannot act? Mr. President, I leave the question hanging and yield the floor. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Oregon.
