on the floor is Senator Shaheen from New Hampshire. I have never had a Senator better prepared than she on any issue that we bring up, who is more concerned about her State, and has worked harder on an issue than she has worked on the issue now before this body. It is a shame that it appears my Republican counterpart has peeled off a couple of the cosponsors of this legislation, Republicans who aren't going to vote to finish this bill. What a shame. It happens every time we get to an issue which we are trying to move forward. It is the obstruction we have faced for going on 6 years. It is too bad. But I commend Senator Shaheen for her diligence. And I hope, prior to the final curtain call on Monday, we can work the next few days to try to come up with some way forward. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from New Hampshire.
