I want everyone in the Senate to know that the negotiations we hear so much about are never going to end. We have to get on this bill. My friends on the other side of the aisle should understand, we have negotiated in good faith and we have tried and we have to get to this bill. Negotiations are similar to ``As The World Turns.'' Similar to a soap opera, they are never going to end, until we get on this bill. I would say to my friends, let's get on this bill because we are going to continue having rollcall votes on this matter as long as it takes.
