“I have been truly amazed, since being a Member of this body, that when matters come up that deal with parliamentary procedures, we have a group of parliamentarians, Alan Frumin, Elizabeth MacDonough, and Peter Robinson who work for the Senate. I do not know their political registration--I do not know if anyone does--they really do a good job. They advise the Chair to make appropriate rulings, and we have a lot of extremely complicated rules in this body. You think you have them figured out one day, and the next day you are told there is some nuance that you did not know or did not understand. I go to the parliamentarians on a frequent basis and always am convinced I get the best information they can give me. I know everyone who sits in the chair where the Senator from Michigan now sits feels the same way. They are to be complimented.”
