Mr. President, my understanding is that unanimous consent would be very unlikely considering the fact there are a number of folks who actually do not want to see these trade agreements pass. The evidence is, if we were to get on the jobs bill--and I thank the leader for talking with me about this--it is very unlikely the free-trade agreements will pass in the time all of us would like to see prior to the President of South Korea being here. I yield the floor and thank the majority leader for letting me have this dialog and for having the dialog we had on Thursday evening.
