On the recordSeptember 8, 2005
We will be very brief. I appreciate the consideration of the distinguished Senator from California. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the Senate now proceed to the immediate consideration of H.R. 3673, the supplemental appropriations bill from the House, with 90 minutes of debate equally divided, with 30 minutes from the majority side under the control of Senator Coburn, with no amendments being in order. I further ask consent that following the use or yielding back of the time, the bill be read a third time and the Senate proceed to a vote on passage without any intervening action or debate. Let me modify this. We will proceed to the immediate consideration of H.R. 3673 immediately following the statement by the Senator from California and the Senator from Texas.
