On the recordJuly 27, 2005

I am happy to say, that is why I specifically stated in my unanimous consent request ``in consultation with the Democratic leader.'' Until we get through the highway bill, the Energy bill, Interior appropriations, Legislative Branch appropriations, and gun liability, it is going to be hard for me to predict exactly when--plus we have a 5-week recess between now and then. The whole purpose of my unanimous consent request is I stay in touch through consultation with the Democratic leader to find the appropriate time.
