On the recordJune 19, 2013
following the leader remarks of myself and Senator McConnell the Senate will be in morning business for an hour. The Republicans will control the first half, the majority the final half. Following that morning business the Senate will resume consideration of the immigration bill. We have in order a number of amendments that are now pending. I would hope the managers of this bill will work to get time agreements set for these amendments and we will work out a time to do these as quickly as we can. But if we have to have an agreement to move forward on these amendments--and I would suggest I do not want and I do not think we should have to move to table any of the amendments or anything like that; I think we should be able to have votes on these--I look forward to the managers working out a time agreement on these amendments so we can move forward and move on to something else on this bill as quickly as possible. ____________________
