On the recordJanuary 17, 2007
I wasn't referring to 15 minutes as the time for debate. I was referring to it as the time that you allow votes on the floor and that the votes on the floor have been condensed and they are efficient. I respect the leader's accomplishing that in such short order. The debate has actually occurred. Senator Conrad gave a very impassioned response to the amendment. I understand Senator Carper has an amendment similar to my amendment. So, yes, it might take a little time to debate it, but I believe we could still deal with it promptly.
