McConnell objects to passing a clean Coast Guard Authorization
Senator Schumer asked unanimous consent to pass a clean
Coast Guard Authorization (minus the VIDA provision). Senator McConnell asked
that the request be revised and that the Senate vote on an amendment to strike
VIDA prior to a vote on the Coast Guard Authorization. Senator Schumer declined
to modify his request and Senator McConnell objected to the original request.
