Senate Votes 64-36, Not Sure On What
WASHINGTON, DC�The U.S. Senate voted 64-38 in favor of S. 546 Monday, despite the lack of any awareness of the bill’s contents. “Wait a minute�S. 546?” asked Sen. Kent Conrad (D-ND), hurriedly shuffling through a stack of papers after hearing of the bill’s passage. “I tend to just vote with Maria Cantwell [(D-WA)], but apparently, she just voted with Thomas Carper [(D-DE)]. Does anybody know what’s in S. 546?! Oh, geez.” Conrad said he isn’t certain, but that he might remember someone mentioning something about the Bend Pine Nursery Land Conveyance Act.

The sad thing is that sometimes Members of Congress really don’t have an opportunity to see what’s in some of the bills they vote on, even the supposedly major laws.
