Mr. President, I would like to thank the Senator from Utah for his expert constitutional analysis, and I rely on his advice and analysis of legislation and want to thank him very much for being part of this debate. We are in contact with the White House, and we have told the White House we will allow debate on Brennan as soon as they will give a clarification of what their opinion is on drone strikes in America. I think after Holder's cross-examination, his opinion may not be too far off from what we are asking for. But we want it clarified and in writing because we think this is an important battle for the American public and an important battle for the Constitution.

At this time, without yielding the floor, I wish to entertain a question from the Senator from Wyoming. The PRESIDING OFFICER (Ms. Heitkamp). The Senator from Wyoming.
