Jeanne Shaheen said "Madam President, I came to the floor to speak on an entirely different issue, but before I do that, I would like to commend Appropriations Chair Mikulski--and I do like saying that, Appropriations Chair Mikulski--and Ranking Member Shelby for all of the work they and their staffs and the other Senators on the Appropriations Committee have done to try to put together a continuing resolution that is going to keep this government open. I share the frustration and the concern we have heard expressed on the floor tonight about the hold-up when we thought there was agreement to get this done. So I appreciate all the work that has been done, and hopefully we can get past this and get this bill done. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Maryland." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
