FEDERAL MARRIAGE AMENDMENT-MOTION TO PROCEED

Mr. SCHUMER. Reserving the right to object, I ask unanimous consent to modify the request of my friend from Colorado that after the Senator from Texas speaks on the Hispanic convention for 10 minutes, the Senator from California and I be given an additional 15 minutes to talk about the renewal of the assault weapons ban.

The PRESIDING OFFICER. Unfortunately, the Chair will not be able to preside and has to object to the unanimous consent request.

Mr. SCHUMER. Mr. President, I have no objection to the Senator from Texas speaking for 10 minutes. I ask unanimous consent that when the Senate resumes business at 2:15 p.m., at some point between 2:15 p.m. and 5 p.m. today, we be given 15 minutes to talk about this issue.
