As I was saying, Mr. President, this country has done well not by saying no but by saying yes and by moving ahead and getting things done. We can't let this continue. We have to put these rules in place. Some of our colleagues on the other side of the aisle are, in good faith, negotiating; others are not. The American people will not allow this gamesmanship to continue. The game is over. Let's debate. Let's get some amendments. There are changes we can make to the bill, changes I support. But the only way we are going to get this done is by getting this bill on the floor and allowing for debate. The American people deserve nothing less. I yield the floor. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Delaware.
