if I could, I would just like to say in response to my good friend from Illinois, it is not the Republican side asking to stall. We only have two Republican Senators who are wanting to push this off. So I do not want that to be mischaracterized. If I could, I wish to say it is my understanding that the reason we are putting this off is because they would like for people around the country whom they have notified to be able to watch. So it is that process of making sure everyone watches that I think is slowing this down. It is not the entire Republican side. I think most Republicans--I know all Republicans other than two would actually like to give the House the opportunity to respond in an appropriate way. I yield the floor. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The next hour is controlled by the majority. The assistant majority leader.
