Byron Dorgan: “I ask the Senator, would it make the most sense to have a final vote on the Energy bill when we have finished our work…”

On the recordJuly 30, 2003
I ask the Senator, would it make the most sense to have a final vote on the Energy bill when we have finished our work on the Energy bill? And wouldn't that best be accommodated by not going off and on to come up with judgeships and trade agreements? Wouldn't the best approach to reaching a final vote on the Energy bill be to stop bringing to the floor of the Senate other business, business that need not be done now?
