for the benefit of all Senators and staff, people have worked very hard. Lots of Senators, 20 Senators, have been involved, and many more off and on, but 20 on a continual basis all day today and even last night.

Right now, it seems it would be senseless for us to stay any longer tonight because it is simply not going to be ready before midnight. ____________________
