On the recordFebruary 10, 1994
Would the Senator not agree that is within the context that we would be moving along with these, from the time he made that inquiry and that estimate from the leadership, and, with the exception of the Senator from Arizona [Mr. McCain], we have really not accomplished very much this morning? We have been here on the floor since 10:15, I believe, when we went on this bill, and to my knowledge we have not had any conclusion of any of these amendments we have had pending. Senators have been alerted. I know the Republican Cloakroom-- and I understand the Democratic Cloakroom as well--has informed the Senators on this list that we are ready to handle those amendments. We are here to do business. Again, with the exception of the Senator from Arizona, we have had colloquies, we have had statements, but I am not aware of any amendment that has been, really, offered, with that exception.
