On the recordDecember 22, 2010
Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the Senate move to morning business with Senators allowed to speak for up to 10 minutes each. Mr. McCAIN. Mr. President, reserving the right to object, if I could. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Arizona. Mr. McCAIN. I would say to the Senator from Illinois that I have an agreement with everybody on a 6-week extension of the Trade Adjustment Assistance and the Trade Preference Act, and on both sides everybody has agreed. I know I can't do that in morning business, so I ask unanimous consent, as soon as it is written up, that I be permitted to propose that legislation.
