On the recordApril 27, 2005

Let me repeat one more time, we are going to be open for business, as we were today, tomorrow. We will invite people to come down. I want to get on the record right now, very often we go through this exercise and when we get close to the end of the consideration of the bill, when cloture has been filed, everyone comes running and screaming, saying they want to offer an amendment.
