Mr. McCAIN. Mr. President, prior to wrap-up, this completes the debate and discussion for this evening. It is my understanding that Senators from Tennessee, Ohio, and Delaware have an amendment that has been filed and they will call it up when we begin our continued debate on this legislation tomorrow morning at 9:30. I hope we can limit our debate on that amendment and have a vote on it and then take up other amendments. It is still the intention of the majority leader to finish this legislation tomorrow. I hope we can achieve that goal. I know everybody would like to go home on Friday afternoon, but I have been assured by the majority leader we will remain until completion of the legislation. I think it has been a good debate tonight. I thank all of my colleagues. I look forward to disposing of the amendments tomorrow when we reconvene at 9:30. I yield the floor to the distinguished Senator from Nevada.
