Mr. President, I direct this comment through the Chair to my distinguished colleague, the Republican leader. All time has expired. Under the rules in the Senate, we start our vote-athon now, as the Republican leader knows. I would ask my friend, is it the desire of the minority that there be time before each amendment and a response to that? Mr. McCONNELL. Yes. I would say to my friend the majority leader, since the voting will all occur during the so-called vote-arama, if we could have a minute or so before each amendment simply to describe what it is, that would be helpful.
