                           PROGRESS ON H.R. 2

  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, let me echo the remarks of my friend, 
the majority leader. We will vote on the DeMint amendment 1 hour from 
now. I am pleased to hear that we will be moving forward on a number of 
amendments to be offered on this side of the aisle.
  There are 17 pending amendments to the substitute and more than 80 
additional amendments filed at the desk.

[[Page S1136]]

We need to start disposing of them in an expedited fashion if we are to 
move on to passage of the bill next week. I look forward to working 
with the majority leader toward that end.
