Political Quotes

“I had a conversation with the Republican leader on Monday, and we went over the things we have to do this work period. We have a lot to do. One of the things we are trying to do-- because we have so much going on around the country; namely, in our States--is we want to try to balance what we do and, frankly, we have some people running for office. But we have made great progress this week so far. We have been able to reach agreement on a number of things that we believe are important. So having said that--and I have gone over what we are going to do in the next few days--I think it would be appropriate to announce to everyone that we are going to not have any votes on Monday. We have work we are going to have to do here Monday, but we are not going to have any votes. I think it is important Senators know that. We were planning on having a number of votes on Monday. I think that is not necessary now. ____________________”
