“As I said this morning, we want to try to wrap up this debate in the near future. I know how fervently the Senator from Alabama feels about this issue, but I do say every time someone says something, we are not going to finish this debate. The Senator from Alabama has already spoken very eloquently--which was referred to this morning by Senator Nickles, about what a great statement he made, and I heard part of his statement, and it was extremely good. My point is, if the people on the other side of the aisle want us to finish this debate sometime tomorrow, we are going to have to be cut a little bit of slack and be able to proceed with our statements. Otherwise, we are going to go over until next week.”
