On the recordJuly 12, 2004
We on this side are disappointed with the objection that the distinguished majority leader made to our request. But I would like to add that upon the disposition of this matter, the marriage amendment, we are prepared to proceed to the consideration of the Homeland Security appropriations bill, not under the restrictions that were suggested by the distinguished Senator from Alaska, but we are willing to work with the majority on coming up with some way to proceed to that most important legislation. We would hope the majority would consider going to that, if not next, soon thereafter.
