On the recordDecember 13, 2001
I am concerned if we get cloture, there are a lot of amendments that will fall. The Dorgan amendment happens to deal with payment limitations. I am concerned that it might fall. I have an amendment dealing with payment limitations. That is my concern. I am not a big fan of cloture, as I am sure the majority leader knows. But there may be others. I make mention of the Dorgan amendment because I am interested in that subject. If you include that, I would appreciate it.
