Patrick Leahy: “for offering an amendment, it would require, of course, unanimous…”

for offering an amendment, it would require, of course, unanimous consent. I have not included, just because it gets too complicated--that is why I wanted to work out with the distinguished chairman when such amendments might be offered.
