Mr. McCONNELL. Madam President, I am very happy the Senate has decided to take another step forward on this very important initiative not only of the President's but of the majority party's as well, and I thank the folks on the other side who are also similarly inclined.
Let me just make it clear. Senator Hatch and Senator Wyden have done a terrific job. They are open to continuing to try to get amendments. We still have the opportunity to do that. As everyone knows, it requires some level of cooperation because anybody can object to somebody else getting an amendment. But Senator Hatch and Senator Wyden are anxious to do additional business, to open it up for more amendments, and with everybody's cooperation, that could be achieved.
