On the recordMay 10, 2012

We are now on the motion to proceed to the Ex-Im bill. I hope we can pass the bill today. I haven't had an opportunity today to speak to the Republican leader, but I will do that shortly, and we will decide if there is a way forward. I ask unanimous consent that the next hour be equally divided and controlled between the two leaders or their designees, with the majority controlling the first half and the Republicans controlling the second half. The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so ordered.

I didn’t have success because of my good looks, or because I was a genius. I had success because I worked harder than anybody else.
