On the recordApril 14, 2011
Mr. President, I reserve the right to object, I have an additional amendment I would like to have considered on this list. I thought we had an agreement that there would be an even number of amendments offered on both sides, and now I understand that in the request that is put forward by the majority leader, there are five amendments on the Democratic side and four amendments on our side. I would like to ask consent, because I thought my amendment--Snowe amendment No. 299--would also be included in the agreement. So I am asking unanimous consent that the order be modified to include Snowe amendment No. 299. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Will the leader modify? The majority leader.
