Pt. 18 25597 the misplaced agenda we appear to be pursuing in the Senate: Taking us off of a Defense authorization bill that we have spent 15 days onmore than 2 weeksto take up special interest legislation that has nothing to do with providing the equipment and the pay raises and the dignified treatment to our wounded warriors that the Defense authorization bill is designed to provide. Unfortunately. we see the distinguished majority leader has now introduced an amendment relating to hate crimes on a Defense authorization bill. We are told the majority whip now plans to introduce a bill with regard to immigration. the socalled DREAM Act. I would submit there is a time and a place for everything. This is a deliberative body. where we are happy to talk about and debate and air our differences on any piece of legislation any Senator might want to propose that comes to the floor. but there is a time and a place for everything.
