On the recordNovember 29, 2010
Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that after the chairman of the Appropriations Committee speaks we alternate back and forth. We are planning to turn in a bunch of our time--to yield back a bunch of our time--and I would suggest that Senator Udall be given 8 minutes after the chairman of the Appropriations Committee, and following him Senator LeMieux, with an intervening statement from the other side, followed by Senator McCaskill for 10 and Senator Inhofe for 15 minutes, alternating back and forth. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
