Harry Reid said "Mr. President, we have an issue and a problem, as we had a long debate dealing with unemployment benefits. We moved forward and passed the bill that would extend them for 30 days. That extension is going to run out before we complete the conference on this bill. As a result of that, I ask unanimous consent that the Senate proceed to the consideration of H.R. 4851, which is an act to provide for a 30- day extension of unemployment benefits, COBRA benefits, satellite television, poverty guidelines, and flood insurance; that the bill be read three times, passed, and a motion to reconsider be laid on the table. The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Is there objection?" @ PoliticalQuotes.com
