Excerpt of U.S. Senate Floor Speech

Senator Marco Rubio: “In a few hours, the President will give a speech in Nevada. And early press accounts concern me. I don’t want to turn this into a partisan thing, though. Let me just say this.

We have now a very common sense and reasonable set of principles, and I hope that the President will say today is that he hopes that that process succeeds. But if his intentions are to trigger a bidding war to see who can come up with the easiest process, this is not a good start.”
