On the recordJanuary 14, 2014
I appreciate very much my colleague, the junior Senator from Nevada, voting with us--voting with himself. He is a cosponsor of this legislation. He and Jack Reed have done admirably good work for the Senate and for the country. Everyone should notice on the first matter we tried to invoke cloture on, I did not enter a motion to reconsider. I did on this one. This is a 3-month unpaid-for. I would hope we could get that passed sometime. If we cannot, there is still an effort, I am sure, out there someplace where we could find a way to work together to get these people the desperate help they need. So that is why I did this, leaving the door open for us to work together to try to come up with something. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Rhode Island.
