On the recordMay 17, 2006
I am talking about changing the order. When the Senator from Oklahoma and I last talked, Senator Kyl had asked for more time and there were discussions. It is my understanding that we were trying to work through to simplify the action once it got to the floor. My interest is finding an amendment which I can bring to the floor and debate and vote. I am prepared to go any direction practicable to achieve that. We now have Senator Vitter on the floor who has another amendment. But may we hear from the Senator from Oklahoma as to what his concerns are?
