Political Quotes

“Mr. President, following leader remarks, there will be a period of morning business for an hour. During that time, Senators will be allowed to speak for up to 10 minutes each. The time will be equally divided and controlled between the two leaders or their designees. The Republicans will control the first 30 minutes; the majority will control the next 30 minutes. Following morning business, the Senate will resume consideration of the House message on unemployment insurance benefits, postcloture. If all postcloture debate time is used, the vote on passage would occur at approximately 9 o'clock tonight. I will continue to work with the Republican leader on an agreement to yield back time. Upon disposition of the unemployment insurance legislation, we will move to the small business jobs bill. We will actually resume consideration of it; we have been on it before. Senators will be notified when any votes are scheduled. ____________________”
