On the recordMarch 13, 2013
I will withdraw my request for a quorum call. I didn't know my friend, the distinguished Senator from Illinois, was here wanting to talk, which is a rare occasion. Mr. McCAIN. Mr. President, if we could continue our dialogue. The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so ordered. Mr. McCAIN. Mr. President, I want to thank the majority leader before he leaves the floor. I look forward to amendments and debate. Again, I apologize to all my colleagues if we held up this legislation, but we did want time to examine this legislation as we had previously requested. I thank my colleagues and look forward to moving forward with amendments. The Senator from Oklahoma and I are prepared with amendments whenever they are in order. I thank my friend from Illinois, and I appreciate the enormous responsibility he has in his new position.
