“If the Senator will continue yielding, I believe with five Democratic amendments the Senator has spoken about and the persuasive nature of the Democratic manager of this bill, some of them would not require votes, and I believe we could finish this in 2 hours. I suggest to the leadership on the other side--I know everyone is chomping at the bit to go to 6 o'clock, but if we could have another couple hours, we could finish this bill. On this side, that would cut the marathon down to 28 hours. Although I have no authority to do this and this is not in the form of a unanimous consent request, I think we would be willing to give up part of our time in those 2 hours to finish this bill.”
