Mark Warner said "first, I advise the Senate that last night for a period of 2 hours we had a very thorough debate on amendments of my distinguished colleague from Michigan and amendments that I put in with our distinguished leader, Mr. Frist, and I believe cosponsors of Senator Levin, and we were joined by another colleague, Senator Lieberman. Of course, Senators don't have access to that Record yet. But I assure you the merits of both cases were thoroughly stated. As we have 30 minutes divided between the two of us this morning, my distinguished friend and I talked this morning, and he expressed an interest in having his amendment voted first. As a matter of comity and courtesy, we offer that to the Senator from Michigan. If that is his desire, I ask unanimous consent that be the order in which votes be taken. The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Is there objection?" @ PoliticalQuotes.com
