On the recordJanuary 24, 2019
during this floor time, I think you are going to see clear messages coming from Democratic Senators and Republican Senators that this shutdown needs to end, that we need to pass a short-term, 3-week clean CR so we can have time to consider the President's request and work together on a bipartisan border security package. I want my colleagues to know we have been meeting regularly in an effort to try to see where we can find common ground. We feel pretty confident that we can find common ground if we can get government open and get to work in a responsible manner to deal with border security in the best interest of the people of this Nation. Mr. President, I will first yield to my friend from Virginia, Senator Warner, then I will yield time and give up the floor to Senator Murkowski. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Virginia.
