we split the time between 9 and 10 o'clock, but it was on the pending amendment. The Senator from Massachusetts has yet to call up the amendment. The only speakers who have been heard have been in opposition to the amendment, but the amendment has not yet itself been called up. I want to make sure the balance of the time reserved is still preserved so we do not lose an opportunity to respond to the debate by the Senator from Massachusetts. The PRESIDENT pro tempore. The current order is the vote will take place at 10 o'clock, but the time between then and now is roughly 16 minutes for the majority and 12 minutes for the minority.
