Political Quotes

“Mr. President, the Presiding Officer and I have had a number of occasions to speak in the recent weeks. Welcome to you and everyone else, the floor staff, who are so valuable, and our pages. We look forward to a busy next few weeks. Following leader remarks, the Senate will turn to a period of morning business, with Senators permitted to speak for up to 10 minutes each. At 4 o'clock today, Vice President Biden will swear in Senators Coons of Delaware and Manchin of West Virginia. There will be no rollcall votes during today's session of the Senate. As a reminder to my colleagues, before the recess I moved to proceed on a few bills. I filed cloture on the motions. As a result, we could have a series of up to three rollcall votes at a time to be determined on Wednesday. Those cloture votes will be on motions to proceed to the following bills: Promoting Natural Gas and Electric Vehicles, Paycheck Fairness Act, and the food safety legislation. The Senate will not be in session tomorrow in order to allow for caucus meetings and leadership elections. ____________________”
