On the recordNovember 13, 2014
Mr. President, I wish to thank the minority leader, but I ask him to repeat his question. Mr. McCONNELL. As the Senator from North Dakota was engaged in conversation, I was talking about his leadership role in this endeavor the last 6 years and the difficulty of getting action here in the Senate. It almost seems to me as if it took an election by the American people to choose a new majority for next year to begin to get the attention of the current majority to go forward on the issue that Senator Hoeven has been talking to us about on a virtually daily basis here for 6 years.
