“one question I have gotten over here several times, and I have raised this issue on the floor, Senator McConnell has said on two separate occasions that a week from this Monday, we will be working. People are changing schedules and all. My personal feeling is we should be working. I hope the leader, whatever the final decision--I understand the preliminary decision is we would be working a week from Monday, more so than just 5 o'clock at night. If we are to have any hope of getting out of here in time for important events such as people's birthdays and events of that nature, we have to really move forward. I say that actually recognizing the Presiding Officer has a very important date coming up--it is the 18th or 20th, or something like that. Seriously, if we can have a signoff on what you are going to do that day, it would be important to everybody.”
