So there is 6 hours of debate time allowed under the consent agreement that was approved earlier today. I certainly hope we can get this done expeditiously. Senator Conrad will be leading efforts on our side opposed to this; and once we get this out of the way, we should move forward. Tomorrow morning, after we understand the morning hour will be deemed expired and the time for the two leaders be reserved for their use later in the day, I ask unanimous consent that I be recognized at that time. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. ____________________
