On the recordJune 25, 2013
I thank the Senator from Arizona, and I will show more patience. Everyone on the floor is showing a lot of patience with this very complicated bill, but I have asked privately and I will ask publicly for the process of clearing--clearing--noncontroversial amendments to begin. There is also a process going on to clear votes on controversial amendments. I am aware of that--to clear votes--and a time agreement on controversial amendments. I am not asking for that. I am asking for clearances to begin for no votes, voice vote only, on noncontroversial amendments, and I am glad I have the Senator's support to look at that and, hopefully, we can work something out.
