“before the Senator leaves the floor, I thank him very much for his leadership. He is a stalwart leader in protecting human rights all over the world, but in this case Russia. I think he is right in suggesting that it is a good follow-on to protecting human rights, and certainly in this case Russia. I thank the Senator very much. Madam President, I ask unanimous consent that under the time to be controlled on the Democratic side, the following Senators be given the time listed: Senator Levin, 15 minutes, and Senator Cardin, 50 minutes. I understand that he has already used a certain amount of time, so the total will be 50 minutes. Senator Durbin will be given 10 minutes and Senator Lieberman 10 minutes; further, all time used for debate on the bill earlier today during morning business be counted toward the 5 hours allocated under the unanimous consent agreement. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection? Without objection, it is so ordered.”
