On the recordMarch 21, 2012
Mr. President, there are several of my colleagues here who are continuing their tributes to Senator Mikulski. I have a statement that was scheduled at 5 p.m. that will take all of 10 minutes, and then I will yield the floor at that point. I don't know if Members who are on the floor want to establish a queue of who will follow, but if anyone wants to make that unanimous consent request, I see that Senator Carper and Senator Cantwell are here on this side, Senator Coats is on the other side. I don't know if Senator Sessions is planning to speak after I have spoken on a substantive matter beyond the UC request.
