Political Quotes

“before I close the Senate, I want to inform the Senators where we are today. First, I want to thank all of the Senators who voted to proceed today. The bipartisan group is still finalizing the text of their agreement, which will be the substitute amendment, with a nonpartisan legislative counsel. Once they are finished--this is a big job--the text will be reviewed, and then I will immediately offer the text of the bipartisan infrastructure agreement as the substitute amendment, making it the base bill, as I have promised. As soon as the bipartisan group finalizes the text of the substitute amendment and it becomes the base bill, we can start voting on amendments and make further progress on the bill over this weekend. The Senate will resume session tomorrow at 11 a.m. This is a really important bill, and I know all the parties want to make sure it is done right. ____________________”
