UNANIMOUS-CONSENT AGREEMENT--H.R. 1585
Mr. REID. I ask unanimous consent the cloture motion on the motion to
proceed to H.R. 1585 be withdrawn, that the motion to proceed be agreed
to, and the Senate resume consideration of the bill on Monday, July 9,
after the conclusion of morning business.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
Mr. REID. Mr. President, this is the Defense authorization bill. I
hope there will be a little conversation about this tomorrow. This will
get us back and focusing on the intractable war that is taking place in
Iraq.
I made a call a day or two ago to speak to Keith Modgling, the father
of Josh. He just turned 22. He was in Iraq for less than a month. He
was killed.
We are going to refocus on this. It is important we do that.
