“If I understand the question of the Senator from California, if we can substitute at some point the compromise language in the Commerce title, I am going to be absolutely supportive of this bill because I trust Senator Rockefeller. We have worked together. We have both given. He doesn't like parts of this bill, I don't like parts of it, but we have given.

So I think we are just a little premature today. I think we need to stop cloture. I think we need to make the changes that are required, and I think this bill will sail in the future.”
