Political Quotes

“Mr. President, following leader remarks, the time until 9:55 will be equally divided and controlled between the two leaders or their designees. At 9:55, the Senate will proceed to a series of up to two rollcall votes. The first vote will be on the motion to waive the applicable budget points of order with respect to the Reid amendment No. 3310. If the points of order are waived, we will immediately proceed to vote on the motion to concur in the House amendment to the Senate amendment to the bill, H.R. 2947, with the Reid substitute amendment. Following the votes, the Senate will proceed to a period of morning business, with Senators permitted to speak for up to 10 minutes each. It is my hope we are able to reach an agreement to pass the short- term tax extenders legislation today. The next item of business will be the bipartisan travel promotion legislation. Following the remarks of the Senator from Kentucky, I would yield 4 minutes to the Senator from New York, Mr. Schumer. ____________________”
