“This bill is so important and this subject is so important to so many people, I am wondering if we could just be flexible and move the discussion of DC in and out of other things, not stopping anything else that is important or would take precedence, but this issue really deserves full debate. As you know, the hours of Senate debate are not always completely and fully taken. I offer for consideration that we have time this morning, we will have time on Monday, and if the leadership wants to move to something else, we could temporarily set this aside and come back to it. There are many Members, at least on our side, who really want some time to speak about this issue. They are most certainly entitled to because it is a very important issue--not just for the District but for the Nation.”
