Unidentified participant says negotiators are close to resolution; asks for 10-minute delay
Summary
An unidentified speaker told meeting attendees that negotiators were nearing a resolution and asked people to wait about 10 minutes while they met with Senate leadership to finalize agreement; the transcript does not identify the legislative body or date.
An unidentified speaker told attendees that negotiators were close to a settlement and requested a brief pause while final talks continued. “Wecan report that we're getting very close,” the speaker said, and added, “We're probably gonna need another 10 minutes or so.”
The speaker said negotiators planned to meet with “Senate leadership” one more time and expressed hope that the parties would be able to reach a resolution that all sides could agree to. The speaker apologized for the late hour and for leaving attendees "in the dark" while the talks continued.
The transcript does not identify the legislative body, the speaker's name, or the date and location of the meeting. No formal motions, votes, or other actions were recorded in these segments; the only substantive content is the procedural announcement that negotiators intended to reconvene shortly to try to finalize an agreement.
Next steps recorded in the transcript: the speaker asked attendees to "hang tight for a few more minutes," indicating the meeting would resume after the negotiations with Senate leadership concluded.
