Mrs. MURRAY

Mrs. MURRAY. I move to lay that motion on the table. The motion to lay on the table was agreed to. Amendment No. 2502 to Amendment No. 2383 (Purpose: To authorize the Secretary of Homeland Security to regulate the sale of ammonium nitrate to prevent and deter the acquisition of ammonium nitrate by terrorists, and for other purposes)

Mrs. MURRAY. Mr. President, I call up amendment No. 2502 and ask for its immediate consideration

Mrs. MURRAY. Mr. President, I believe this amendment has been agreed to on both sides.

Mrs. MURRAY. Mr. President, I believe this amendment has been agreed to.

Mrs. MURRAY. I believe those are all the amendments to come before the Senate. amendment no. 2521

Mrs. MURRAY. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum call be rescinded.

Mrs. MURRAY. Mr. President, the pending amendment, I believe, is the Dole amendment No. 2462; is that correct?

Mrs. MURRAY. I move to lay that motion on the table. The motion to lay on the table was agreed to. Amendment No. 2478 to Amendment No. 2383

Mrs. MURRAY. I believe this amendment has been agreed to.

Mrs. MURRAY. I ask unanimous consent that the Grassley amendment No. 2444 be temporarily set aside; that we proceed to the Alexander-Collins amendment No. 2405.

Mrs. MURRAY. Mr. President, I move to table the amendment.

Mrs. MURRAY. Madam President, I suggest the absence of a quorum.

Mrs. MURRAY. I move to lay that motion on the table. The motion to lay on the table was agreed to. Amendment No. 2466 to Amendment No. 2383

Mrs. MURRAY. Madam President, I suggest the absence of a quorum and ask unanimous consent that the time be equally divided.

Mrs. MURRAY. Madam President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum call be rescinded.

Mrs. MURRAY. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that notwithstanding the adoption of amendment No. 2516, the amendment be further modified with the version I now send to the desk.

Mrs. MURRAY. I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum call be rescinded.

Mrs. MURRAY. Again, I would remind my colleagues that we are currently debating the Dorgan amendment to the Landrieu amendment. Senator Kerry is on the floor and wishes to speak. I yield him the time until 1:45 when it will be equally divided at that time. So the Senator has 10 minutes.

Mrs. MURRAY. Madam President--while the majority leader is here, and the managers of the bill--the parliamentary position in which we now find ourselves is that the amendment that is now before the Senate under the regular order is the Dorgan amendment to the Landrieu amendment. Senator Dorgan was on the floor a few minutes ago and said he would be willing to agree to a 10-minute debate time and a vote. I know the majority leader has several issues that are going on. I would like to ask the managers of the amendment how they would like to proceed at this point.

Mrs. MURRAY. I move to reconsider the vote.

Mrs. MURRAY. Mr. President, I believe we now move to Senator Salazar's amendment.

Mrs. MURRAY. What is the number of the amendment?

Mrs. MURRAY. Mr. President, I would object at this time and suggest the absence of a quorum.

Mrs. MURRAY. Mr. President, I suggest the absence of a quorum. The clerk will call the roll.

Mrs. MURRAY. I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum call be rescinded.
