Mr. President, tonight begins the process of ending bulk collection. The bill will ultimately pass. We always look for silver linings. I think the bill may be replacing one form of bulk collection with another, but the government, after this bill passes, will no longer collect our phone records.

My concern is---- The PRESIDING OFFICER. Order in the Senate, please. The Senator deserves to be heard.
