may I respectfully ask the chairman a question? The PRESIDING OFFICER. Does the Senator yield for a question?
If I could just respectfully ask the chairman, since we have only had this bill for an hour, we have, as you can see, a number of Senators who want to speak. I would just respectfully ask if there is any time we will have between now and…
Regarding time, I just have a question so that Members can know how to manage their time between now and the 45 minutes when we have the vote. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Republicans have 46 minutes remaining; the Democrats have zero.

Politicians like Patty Murray
