Arlen Specter: “the plan at this point, under the unanimous consent agreement already reached, is to have a 15-minute plus 5 rollcall…”

“the plan at this point, under the unanimous consent agreement already reached, is to have a 15-minute plus 5 rollcall vote on the Boxer amendment, a 10-minute rollcall vote plus 5 on the Ensign amendment, and then we will be very close to final passage. The concern has been to submit the colloquies and have a few voice votes now, but I want to be sure when our colleagues come to vote on these two amendments we know the lay of the land, in case anybody has not been notified and wants to have a further consideration. But it would be the anticipation of the managers, following these two votes, there would be a very brief period of time, and then we would go to final passage and conclude the bill. I yield the floor. Vote on Amendment No. 2287, as Modified The PRESIDING OFFICER. The question is on agreeing to the motion to waive the Budget Act with respect to the Boxer amendment. The yeas and nays have been ordered. The clerk will call the roll. The assistant legislative clerk called the roll.”
