“I thank the Senator. I also would like to say, our family came from Germany, and that is the first thing they did, too. Amendment No. 3965, as Modified Mr. McCAIN. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent to speak for 1 minute on the amendment. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection? Without objection, it is so ordered. The Senator from Arizona is recognized for 1 minute. Mr. McCAIN. Mr. President, I wish to tell my colleagues that we had some good-faith negotiations with Senator Cornyn. I am sorry I was unable to talk to him before this vote. I know he had a previous engagement down at the White House. But the Kennedy amendment will probably be a side- by-side since there are still areas of the Cornyn amendment we have difficulty agreeing to. So I wish I could have talked with Senator Cornyn since I think our differences are minimal, but we still have not resolved them. Mr. President, I yield back the remainder of my time. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Under the previous order, the question is on agreeing to the Cornyn amendment.”
