On the recordFebruary 1, 2016
if I could just say, I so appreciate our colleagues working in such a bipartisan fashion to work through these eight amendments and set votes for these amendments tomorrow. We are making good progress on this legislation. I hope our colleagues will give attention to these matters so tomorrow we can move further on some more votes to clear up the remaining issues before us on this bill. I appreciate all our colleagues working together in earnest and the chair of the committee to make sure we have made this progress so far today. Thank you. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Hearing no further debate, the question is on agreeing to the amendments en bloc. The amendments (Nos. 2970, 2989, 2991, 3119, 3019, 3066, 3137, and 3056, as modified) were agreed to en bloc. ____________________
