we have a series of managers' amendments that have been cleared on both sides. Therefore, I now ask unanimous consent that the series of amendments at the desk be considered and agreed upon en bloc and the motion to reconsider be laid upon…
we are going to move as quickly as we can. It appears that we can complete all work on this bill tonight. We have a few remaining amendments. I am going to offer a unanimous consent request at this time and, hopefully, we can cut the time…
I thank the Chair. I trust that our colleagues are on the Senate floor. I see them. I yield the floor. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Missouri is recognized. Amendment No. 925
under the unanimous consent, we now have the Sununu amendment with a minute allocated to each side for closing comments. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator is correct. Who yields time? The Senator from Idaho.
I withdraw the UC for that purpose. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from New York.
I would hope that timewise, all time could be used on the Sununu amendment, understanding there is still a minute to close at the time of the vote and that we can return now to the Schumer amendment. Senator Bond is on the Senate floor…
We have no objection. I yield back time on our side. Amendment No. 810 The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. DeMint). There are now 7 minutes per side on the Schumer amendment. The Senator from Missouri is recognized.
I ask, consistent with the unanimous consent request, that we set the Schumer amendment aside for consideration of the Sununu amendment. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
I will attempt to offer a unanimous consent now that will finalize action on the Schumer amendment and move us to the Sununu amendment. I ask unanimous consent that Senator Schumer be recognized to offer his amendment No. 810 and that…
I don't know that all has been said, but most nearly all has been said. Let me speak briefly about the Sununu amendment. If I have heard it once I have heard it a lot of times in the last few years: Oh, we need new technology. We need…
we are on the Energy bill at this moment and have put forth a unanimous consent that moves us forward. We have a finite list of amendments I will work with Senator Johnson on in the next few minutes. We are about to do a unanimous consent…
as we tried to craft the UC, we gave this issue of the Schumer amendment 30 minutes. So I would hope we could keep in the spirit of 15 and 15 so we can keep ourselves on track this evening. So the opponents would have 15 minutes, as we…
I ask the Senator to hold for just a few moments until we work out a unanimous consent of order. We are about there. We have two or three Senators ready to go. We know of your concern and interest and the amendment to be offered. If the…
That is the intent. It is just to secure for Senator Bond 7 minutes of debate on the Schumer amendment prior to the vote.
It is now my understanding that Senator Schumer will close, and the 7 minutes remaining includes the 2 that had been allotted in the original UC.
Let me work this through. This will take a minute or 2 for the Senator from Missouri. It has been agreed to. It will be a voice vote, and then we will move immediately to the votes.
The Senator from Arizona suggested I am impugning the motives of Tony Blair. If I am, I apologize for that. I have submitted for the record the statements of the Royal Academy of Science and the statements of the National Academy of…
let me thank my colleagues, Senators McCain and Lieberman, for bringing this debate to the Senate floor. Let me say to my colleague from Delaware, he has made a very compelling statement for sustaining the status quo. America and America's…
he said they had not changed their course and direction and they didn't agree with the Royal Academy's statement. They thought it was misleading. That is not what they said, not what they believe. It is not what they intended. Then the…
I will not yield. This is a closing statement. We have Senators who need to have the vote and get to their committees. I am a State rights advocate, but I also recognize the Constitution and the interstate commerce clause and what we have…
I will not take a great deal of time, but I want to visit this issue in the context that it has just been presented by our colleague from Massachusetts. First, I think it is awfully important to understand a couple of things that just have…
I hope Senators today will oppose the Feinstein-Snowe amendment for a very clear reason. In 1974, when the Senator from California refers to this port act, we did not have a lot of the law in place that we now have today. This is not a…
I understand--because of certain committee meetings and time considerations--that we have been asked to extend the time in which there will be a vote. So I ask unanimous consent that the time of 2:15 be extended until 2:30 on a vote on the…
let me speak to the underlying bill and the provision in the amendment that is before us now before yielding the floor. The senior Senator from Florida is here to discuss the issue of offshore drilling and a very important part of our…
I rise to clarify the record concerning my support for the resolution before us today. I chose to cosponsor this resolution because of my abhorrence for the crime of lynching. I have been told that the passage of this resolution will…
