Political Quotes

“Let me first say that if I am hearing the Senator right, he will work with us to move forward on a unanimous consent request on a list of amendments. I certainly would welcome his doing that. I also do need to indicate we spent last week and this week moving amendments. We started moving amendments. The Senator's was one of the very first ones we did vote on. We have been working together today, trying to move in small groups amendments to be able to get things moving, now facing objections as we do that. But we did have the opportunity to do a number of amendments last week and have moved forward to vote on some. We will continue to do that with colleagues. That is our intent. Again, if my friend will remember, this is the second time around for us. We have already done this once. We are back doing it again. We want to get it done. We want to have the opportunity for people to offer more amendments.”
