And part of that agreement is that today will be for debate only. The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Is there objection? The Republican leader is recognized. Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, reserving the right to object, and I am certainly not going to object, I want to thank the majority leader. I think it is a good way to go forward. There was some suggestion that some on this side of the aisle wanted to read the treaty. Our view is that that is not essential. We do encourage our members--I know Senator Lugar, our ranking member on Foreign Relations, is here and Senator Kyl, who has been deeply involved in this issue. We would encourage them to begin the debate on the treaty.
