Harry Reid: “Then following the two managers making their statements, thereafter…”

On the recordMay 18, 2005

Then following the two managers making their statements, thereafter, we go to an hourly timeframe and we have to, I think--it would be good for the managers not to be extending the time because it makes it impossible when you have people scheduled to come over here. I agree to this under the extraordinary circumstances also of the two managers of this nomination--that they be given a full hour. Following that, the Republicans would be recognized for an hour, and the Democrats for an hour, and we go on that basis. Mr. President, I have somebody here complaining that we have already set the schedule. We are entitled to the time by the rules.
