On the recordFebruary 14, 2006
the list of motions to instruct that we have thus far are in this order: No. 1 is the Grassley motion regarding AMT asking for both AMT relief and tax cuts. No. 2 is the Kennedy capital gains motion, which is in opposition to the former. No. 3 is the Lott motion on AMT. No. 4 is Senator Menendez's AMT capital gains. No. 5 is Senator Santorum with respect to tuition deduction. No. 6 is Senator Schumer with respect to tuition deduction. No. 7 is Senator Hatch's motion with respect to R&D. No. 8 is Senator Stabenow's motion with respect to R&D and capital gains. That is where we are at this point. That is eight. There are a total of 16 on my list, and it is my hope that by the time we get through the eight maybe Senators will be a little less inclined to insist on recorded votes. But those are the first 8, with a total of 16 motions to instruct, which I understand will all be in order this morning. I yield the floor. Motions to Instruct Conferees The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The Senator from Iowa is recognized.
