Senator asks Senate to discharge Finance Committee and take up HR 5366; objection reserved
Summary
On the Senate floor Senator Oregon requested that the Senate Committee on Finance be discharged so the Senate could immediately consider HR 5366; a floor objection was reserved and a senator from Texas began a response that is truncated in the transcript.
Senator Oregon said the House has already passed a negotiated bipartisan disaster-relief bill and formally asked the Senate to modify a pending request so that the Senate Committee on Finance would be discharged and the Senate could proceed to immediate consideration of HR 5366. She specified floor actions: that the bill be considered read .333 time, passed, and that the motion to reconsider be made and laid upon the table.
After the request, the clerk asked if there was objection and someone reserved the right to object by stating, "Reserving the right to object." The transcript then identifies a senator from Texas beginning to speak, saying, "I would note that I agree with virtually every ..." but the remarks are truncated in the available record. There is no recorded vote or final disposition of the discharge request in the transcript.
