Ms. Stabenow mr. President i would ask suspension of the quorum call. The presiding officer without objection. Ms. Stabenow thank you mr. President. Thank you. Mr. President , i think the American People deserve to see the contrast between how nominees were treated last decade during the Bush Administration versus how they are treated this decade during the obama administration.

Current estimates put it at 600 per foot. That is more per square foot than the cost to build the bellagio casino. I enter it in for consideration. Thank you. Mr. Chairman. Senator enzi sanders. Senator sanders i speak in opposition to this. No other bank is subjected to regular appropriations. It is one way of singling out the one regulator which is a consumer advocate and this amendment would weaken an important agency. The copd has been successful. It has helped consumers who will receive relief from unsafe financial services. It has ordered consumer relief. I would urge a no vote on this of amendment.
