On the recordDecember 20, 2005
we have, for example, Governor-elect Corzine who is doing work in New Jersey, and we need some notice as to when the vote will take place to get him back here. He is, of course, coming. It appears very likely that the Vice President may need to vote on this himself. From the numbers we have, it is going to be extremely close. It would be important we have some notice as to when the leader would like to handle and have that vote. If all the hours are used and even if we charged the time for debate during our caucus lunches, it would be 4 o'clock or 5 o'clock. If all time remaining is used on this, when would the vote take place if we go straight through? The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. About 6 p.m.
