Madam President, I thank Senator Whitehouse very much--him and the other Senators who have been down here talking. I would ask the Chair--Senator Cruz has been very generous. It was his turn to go, and I said I could finish this in 5 minutes. So I would ask the Presiding Officer to indicate when 5 minutes is up, and I will yield the floor, then, to him and ask unanimous consent that he get the floor after me so that there is not any issue there. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
