The changes that have occurred at the White House in the last several hours, and this--it has been an unusual day, I will say. Mr. McCONNELL. Well, my good friend from Tennessee knows that my principal responsibility is begging, pleading, and cajoling. I have been in continuous discussions, shall I say, with several of our Members who were legitimately unhappy about one aspect or another, and they spent a lot of time thinking over whether or not they wanted to expedite the process. I must say, after a long and intense day of such discussions with several of our Members who have legitimate concerns, I am relieved, rather than depressed, that we might be able to actually finish tonight.
