Harry Reid: “One of the things I think would be appropriate, the way I understand…”

On the recordDecember 19, 2005

One of the things I think would be appropriate, the way I understand things now, if everything is here by midnight tonight and cloture is filed, there will be a Wednesday cloture vote. After that Wednesday cloture vote, there will be a vote on this point of order. That would be Wednesday. If it is necessary that there be cloture invoked on the Defense authorization bill--and I am not sure that is necessary, but it is possible--the two cloture votes would be back to back. So I would be happy to consider working out some reasonable time agreement. Maybe we could even have the vote on the point of order first.
