On the recordFebruary 28, 2013
I wish to interject just for a moment to sort out the order on the floor. I apologize to the Senator from Arizona for the last exchange. I thought I had the floor at that point. I understand now this is a colloquy. I think Senator Ayotte seems to be in order, but the chairman of the Appropriations Committee is here, so perhaps she could be recognized at the conclusion of Senator Ayotte's remarks. I see Senator Inhofe, so if he could follow Senator Mikulski and then I will follow Senator Inhofe, I offer that as a proposal. The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Is there objection?
