Mr. WARNER. I thank the Presiding Officer.

Mr. WARNER

Mr. WARNER. Mr. President, I certainly concur in those observations about our highly esteemed colleague from West Virginia. I thank the Senator for his kind remarks. I think this is No. 27 for us--a quarter of a century. It is a pretty good record. I am quite anxious, as I know the Senator is, that Senators bring forth amendments. I will propose an amendment for deliberation. Moments ago, I notified your staff about it. I am perfectly willing to procedurally take it up because I know two colleagues on that side of the aisle are interested in the same subject. We notified our offices this amendment would be brought up. They may have some views on it. I hope they will address their views. Amendment No. 1314 I send an amendment to the desk and ask for its immediate consideration.

Mr. WARNER. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent the reading of the amendment be dispensed with.

Mr. WARNER. Mr. President, it is a perfectly reasonable request. I fully wish to accommodate my colleague's wishes. We will lay this amendment aside. But I would like to draw attention to the fact that the subject is one which has been under constant review, the subject of five hearings in committee over a period of time. It is so important, I would like to have this bill start off with the amendment. I am hopeful, with the concurrence of the leadership, we can address this amendment this evening. I am perfectly willing to lay it aside now and let colleagues come over and speak to it, as you say, and take such parliamentary steps as they so desire. So at this time, Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the pending amendment of the Senator from Virginia be laid aside.

Mr. WARNER. I thank my colleague. Mr. President, we are working with the other side. I think we have a package of cleared amendments, but maybe the Senator wishes to address something else. Amendment No. 1315

Mr. WARNER. I move to reconsider the vote.

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 President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum call be rescinded.

Mr. WARNER. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent to add Senator Jon Kyl as a cosponsor of amendment No. 1314.

Mr. WARNER. Mr. President, with the attention of my distinguished ranking member, we ask that a series of amendments, which I will now send to the desk, which have been cleared, be considered, and I ask that any statements relating to the individual amendments be printed the Record.

Mr. WARNER. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that further reading of the amendments be dispensed with.
