Franken appointment
Harry Reid just said on the Senate floor that pursuant to S. Res. 208, Franken's appointment to this committee will not occur until after the HELP committee marks up (passes) the health care reform bill. Until then, Sheldon Whitehose remains as a temporary member. Please do not add Franken until it is official.DCmacnut &lt; &gt; 16:24, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

There is no way there can be *8* Republicans in the majority and *10* Democrats in the minority, including 2 who are no longer senators (Harkin and Hagan). Redo. 66.67.32.161 (talk) 18:44, 7 January 2015 (UTC)
