“when we complete debate on Senator Obama's amendment, we will then have two votes at 2:30. And then, after the votes, it is our desire, subject to Senator Inhofe's agreement, to come and debate his amendment. That may take a substantial period of time. I am advised by Senator Kennedy they would like 2 hours equally divided. So that will take us fairly far into the afternoon. We will stay in session even though Director Negroponte will be having a session upstairs. This bill needs to be moved, so we will stay in session on the Inhofe amendment during that period of time. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the Senator from Idaho be given 2 minutes to debate the Vitter amendment. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection? Without objection, it is so ordered. The Senator from Idaho is recognized for 2 minutes.”
