Harry Reid: “So we have an orderly process on our side, I would ask unanimous consent that of the time that has been allotted this…”

On the recordMay 26, 2005
So we have an orderly process on our side, I would ask unanimous consent that of the time that has been allotted this side, Senator Boxer be given 45 minutes; Senator Dodd, 60 minutes; Senator Sarbanes, 15 minutes; Senator Voinovich, 30 minutes; Senator Kerry, 30 minutes; Senator Feingold, 20 minutes; Senator Nelson of Florida, 10 minutes; Senator Obama, 15 minutes; Senator Reid, 15 minutes; and Senator Biden to control the remaining time for 15 minutes. I am quite certain that the staff has worked it out so our time is equal to what Senator Lugar controls on his side. If there is any difference in the numbers, he and Senator Dodd can adjust it accordingly. The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so ordered. ____________________
