“One moment, and then I will yield for the Senator's reply. The point is, the Senate came to this conclusive presumption and the Senator from Wisconsin voted for it. The full Senate came to this conclusion. The Senator from Wisconsin did not object to it. So I think it is rather late in the day--frankly, too late in the day--for the Senator from Wisconsin to say that a provision which he has approved is the basis for rejecting the conference report because the conference report did not do something he would have liked better. Now, without yielding the floor, I ask unanimous consent that the Senator from Wisconsin be allowed to make whatever comments he chooses on this point.”
