“I hope everybody will take the time to look at the legislation with whatever care they wish to use in addressing the concerns raised by the Senator from Kentucky. It is my intention to bring this to the floor as quickly as possible when we return. I will accommodate requests for additional time if the 4 hours isn't adequate. We can move to a longer period of time. But I do hope, given the fact that we had good and very healthy debate almost a year ago, given the fact now that the House has adopted virtually the bill that we passed in the Senate, we can have a debate without indefinite delay. So I hope we can reach some unanimous consent request when we return. I will propound another one as soon as we return. But I appreciate the involvement of our colleagues. I yield the floor.”
