How much time is left? That is really what I was getting at. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The assistant Democrat leader.

just inquiring--it is my understanding that Senator Warner and Senator Coons are to speak now. Is that correct? The PRESIDING OFFICER. There is no order to that effect.

It is my understanding, then, that we will have that and then we move to an alternating session until the time of the vote. Is that correct? The PRESIDING OFFICER. There is equally divided time until the vote, after the time allotted for…

I want to thank the Senator for his comments. Just so we know how we are organized on this side for the next hour--and I think we are about evened up on the time, maybe 3 minutes more needs to come our way but roughly even. For the next 30…

first, I thank our honored President pro tempore for his outstanding comments. But while my distinguished friend from Illinois is on the floor, I thought I would walk through a unanimous consent request, if that is OK. I think it has been…

first of all, I wish to thank our leader and I wish to thank Senator Reid for allowing us to come to this vote without a motion to proceed so we can begin this debate in a sober and responsible manner. I thank the leader. I know many…

I thank the Senator from California for her service on the Foreign Relations Committee and her passionate comments. Obviously, I am in a very different place policywise than she is. I do want to point out there is bipartisanship here…

I thank the Senator for her tremendous courtesy, and I will actually take 1 minute. This afternoon we are going to have a very sober and dignified debate about a foreign policy issue of huge consequence to our Nation and certainly to the…

as has been said, the time is equally divided. Obviously, Republicans have spent a great deal of time on the floor. The order, just for people on our side who are coming and going on our side--we know the next speaker is Senator Feinstein…

I am really glad that the distinguished leader of the Armed Services Committee is going to speak next. The Senator from Arizona probably has more knowledge of the Middle East than almost anybody in this body, but it was my understanding…

So just based on the process put forward by the minority whip--obviously we will have one more speaker over here. I assume you will have Democrats to fill the time on your side until 5. I want to make that known to people. Thank you. The…

I will be glad to take my colleague's question briefly, but I don't want to burn up a lot of our time.

I say that for the convenience of people on our side who may come and go. That is the order. I know that obviously--how much time does the Democratic side have? The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Democrats have approximately 1 hour 15 minutes.

I think in closing--I will leave the floor, so I am not burning up any more of our time--but I think there are very legitimate concerns about the fact we began this to dismantle Iran's nuclear program, to end their program, per the…

I want to thank the Senator from Maryland for his comments and his tremendous leadership on this issue. I note that Senator Collins is here to speak. It is my understanding that she will speak for approximately 30 minutes. Senator Cornyn…

I am going to have more lengthy comments to make on this topic a little later, but I did want first of all to thank the Senator from Illinois for his comments, and I certainly want to thank Senator Cardin--and I will do so more fully in…

I did read those reports. I said to my friend from Illinois earlier: Look, there has been so much that has occurred from the very beginning that has caused people on each side to, in some cases, raise the partisan flag or think that this…

I just want to say how disappointed I was in the President's comments yesterday relative to Iran.

We are being compared to the hardliners in Iran because we have concerns.

They did not want a public debate on Iran.

I could not agree more that this should not be a partisan effort.

What this agreement in essence does is it codifies with our approval the industrialization of their nuclear program.

this is a big decision.

I emphasized the importance of these last pieces, and I am talking about the inspections, I am talking about the previous military dimensions.

what we are in essence going to be doing with Iran is we know the momentum shifts in 9 months, the leverage shifts.
