“that may be the alternative because I have tried all day to speed up that side in terms of consideration of amendments--all day long now. I started at 11 o'clock this morning. We have just finished handling five amendments on that side of the aisle. We haven't had one from this side of the aisle yet. I don't think it is beyond fair to say Senators who notified me they want to bring up their amendments that it is time for us to bring up amendments on this side. We couldn't get any agreement on time over there. I don't know of any reason why we should have time agreements over here. If the Senator wants to proceed with regular order, I am all for it. There are 16 amendments. We will be on those until midnight. Some of them may not be called up at all. But we can call them up, if the other side wants to do that. I believe, in balance and fairness, we have been compelled to be balanced on this side now for 5 hours. I think we are now going to be on this side for about 4 or 5 hours.”
