I think it would be better--I haven't had a chance to discuss this with the majority leader--to vitiate the vote on cloture and then set a time to complete the debate on Priscilla Owen. We would be willing to do that. It would move things along. I wanted the leader to know that. We would be happy to talk about schedule, how much time people need, and what we are going to do the rest of the week. We haven't had time to talk this morning.
