On the recordSeptember 24, 2013
the staff has worked so hard over the last couple of days, and I want to acknowledge that. Everyone has worked hard. We tried to space it out, and the staff has done a remarkably good job, but some people spent the night here, and there was one group who worked so very, very hard. We only have eight reporters who cover the proceedings here, so think about what they have had to go through. They have to prepare their notes immediately, and they have been working, as I said, for 2 days. I am confident that they are exhausted. I hope they rest well, and I hope everyone rests well tonight. We will be back tomorrow, and I hope we can speed things up a little bit more than what the rules require. As I said before, I would like to move this as quickly as we can. ____________________
