We have an amendment that is pending, and we also have a number of crop insurance amendments we want to do together. I will not object to voting on his amendment, there is no attempt not to do that, but at this point I do object to having his amendment as the pending amendment. I ask my colleague through the Chair if he would be willing to work with us. I will commit to having a vote on his amendment. This is not an attempt to not vote on his amendment. The ranking member and I have talked, and we are certainly committed to voting on the Senator's amendment; however, we would like to have an opportunity to set up how we will be voting on a series of amendments. The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Objection is heard. The Senator from Arizona. Mr. McCAIN. Mr. President, if I heard the Senator correctly, she committed to a vote on this amendment, correct?
