reserving the right to object, I point out what the Senator requests is for us to redo the budget debate where those amendments were considered and defeated in the Senate, and it is now up to us to go to conference to work out our differences with the House. There is no need to go back through another 50 hours of debate and 100-plus amendments to be considered. This body needs to go to work. We have been told time and time again we need a budget, we need a solution. We do not need to manage by crisis. There is no need to relitigate the budget on this side. We need to go to conference and litigate our differences with the House Republicans. I object to the Senator's request and urge we move to conference and allow the request of the Senator from Virginia, Senator Warner, to go forward. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection to the request of the Senator from Virginia? Mr. McCONNELL. I object. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard. The Senator from Virginia.
