Mr. President, for all the Senators here, we may have 141 amendments, but this is not the first time we have had 141 amendments on a bill. I have looked at a catalog of the amendments, and a lot are on the same subject. What we are trying to do is find out different categories and not have everybody offer the same amendment. Our goal tonight should be to try to get rid of four amendments. If we could have four amendments out of the way tonight, we could look-- and I thank my friend because I told him we are going to have votes in the morning, or at least a vote. I can create a vote. I hope we don't have to start creating votes. I hope they are on amendments people want to debate. Senator Sanders has an amendment. Has he agreed to a time?
