On the recordJune 27, 2017
Mr. President, let me join my colleagues on the Senate Finance Committee and not only express my concern about how we got here, but also acknowledge that an awful lot of folks in Virginia and a lot of decent folks in North Carolina and folks across the country breathed a little bit of a sigh of relief today. But that sigh of relief was just the fact that we have a bit of a reprieve from a proposal that, in my years here, I don't think I have ever seen-- The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Virginia will suspend for a moment. If the Senators are going to carry on a colloquy, the Senator from Oregon has to remain standing.
