Last night, we were able to reach agreement on the next amendments in order. Those amendments will be offered soon, and I hope we will be able to reach agreement to vote in relation to the pending amendments. I am going to offer an amendment on behalf of Senator Murray. Senator Sanders will offer one. Then there will be two Republican amendments. We have to kind of clear the decks. There will be no more amendments until we can make some arrangement to dispose of what has already been laid down. We have three. These four more means seven amendments. There will be two Democratic amendments this morning, two Republican amendments. That will mean a total of seven amendments. We have to take a pause then and try to get rid of some of these, voting on them before we move to others. We can now move to the bill, Mr. President. ____________________”
