Mr. President. it comes as no surprise to anyone watching the Senate that the Republican leader and I disagree on many things. but I was very glad to hear the Republican leader say last week that he believes any government funding bill must be clean and that using the appropriations process as a vehicle to attack womens health is. as he said. "an exercise in futility." I am sure not everyone on his side of the aisle agrees with him. but there is no doubt it is the right thing to do. I agree that any budget deal must be clean. that is. no ridersnothing with Planned Parenthood. nothing with repealing what the Environmental Protection Agency has done. no repealing what the DoddFrank bill put into effect to stop us from having another Wall Street meltdown. no riders dealing with immigrationjust a clean continuing resolution for a short period of time to allow us to do a more full and more complete deal in the very near future. I agree any budget bill must be clean. I say that again.
