I am wondering, while the manager and everybody else is on the floor--we know we have at least one amendment that will take some debate. I am wondering if everybody wants a vote on final passage. We can do that. It will take a while to get through all this. There are no surprises. It has been around for a while. I am going to be here, anyway, so it does not matter to me. I am wondering if we need to have a rollcall vote on final passage. Mr. McCAIN. If the minority leader will yield, I was told there is a whole stack of amendments going to be considered. I am sure some will require rollcall votes.
