Whether to amend that with a bigger proposal because we all know a bigger proposal is necessary, but ive decided were going to go on and vote as soon as the senate can get permission to vote on the bill that came over from the house, send it down to the president for signature and thus reassure the people around the country that we can operate on a bicameral, bipartisan basis quickly. Second, we will not leave, the senate will not leave until we have passed yet another bill and clearly, that will have to go in two steps. As i indicated earlier, First Senate Republicans and the administration are going to try to reach an agreement on what we think is best for what could best be described as phase three. Then the senate being the senate, we will sit down with our democratic counterparts and see what we can agree to. We will not leave, the senate will not leave town until we have processed yet another bill to address this emergency. With that i will be happy to take a few questions. Repor
Funeral for general soleimani, of course, killed during drone strike as we are hearing fresh threats to set u. S. Facilities on fire bringing death to israel and officially, official designate the u. S. Military a terrorist force, the administration is defending the air strikes that killed soleimani this morning claiming hes responsible for leading operations in iraq that killed 600 service members, rob, thank you very much for your service in the country, your reaction to that all of this .
