VOTES TOMORROW
Mr. REID. Mr. President, I think it is appropriate that everyone be
notified there will be no rollcall votes today. We are still working on
what time it will be tomorrow. But we, as everyone knows and I have
said here--this is the third time--we were within inches of having
something worked out on having votes today, but for reasons I do not
fully understand, the Republicans did not agree to that at the last
minute, and now we have to figure out what time we are going to vote
tomorrow. If we cannot work it out by consent, then, of course, we will
do it 1 hour after we come in, which is the rule. We have competing
interests. We have people who want it late tomorrow. We have people who
want it early tomorrow. So we will try to see what we can do to work
through that.
Again, I appreciate my good friend for yielding.
Mr. BAUCUS. Mr. President, I thank the leader for all his very hard
work. Nobody is working harder than the leader to try to work out the
schedule so we can address these issues, and we all thank him.
