I appreciate that since being chosen majority leader the Senator from Tennessee has gone out of his way to make sure we have ample debate. He has used the cloture motion rarely, and we appreciate that very much. But I say, regarding the Estrada matter, we have been very consistent in our requests. No. 1 is that he answer questions. The Senator said he would try to satisfy that. But until he supplies the memoranda from the Solicitor's office, it is not going to change the position of the people on this side of the aisle. So if he makes the unanimous consent request, we will simply renew our unanimous consent request, as we have done on other occasions.
