The Chair wishes to strike post #30 from the record as debate has not ceased at a motion for clothure has not been made.

Are there any outstanding amendments on the floor or is there a motion for clothure of debate?

waidaminnit here. the governing authority ("controlling legal authority") here is tom's rules of order, in which the vote necessary to bring about the action is one more than those seeking it can muster. that's how the big guys -- figuratively, of course, daschle being an embittered midget -- do it.
