On the recordMay 16, 2007
we have been told by Pentagon officials that there is money there to the end of June. We have been told by the Congressional Budget Office that there is money there until July. But in spite of all that, we sent the President a bill. He vetoed that bill. We recognize the need to get money to the troops. We are going to do that. I stated on the floor yesterday that we will take whatever time it takes to complete this funding prior to the recess we have scheduled for Memorial Day, and we are going to do that. We will work with the minority to do that. I also suggest that we are all going to vote for cloture on this amendment, so maybe we don't need to vote on it. If Senators are all going to vote for it, let's accept it by voice vote.
