On the recordNovember 20, 2013
I know there is a unanimous consent pending. I have no problem in the world with continuing to work to see if we can come up with something. We have tried. It is not as if we have not tried. But my disappointment is that we are just not doing any legislating here, and people can bring the blame to me all they want. We can get into all kinds of statistics that we want about what has happened in years past and why it has been necessary to fill the tree, but that doesn't accomplish anything. Everyone knows what is going on around here. So I am not going to get into a he said, they said situation. I know the two managers of this bill want to get something done. Let's give them the time it takes to get that done. So my consent is pending, and I would like the Chair to rule on that. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection to the request?
