Harry Reid: Fast Track Free Trade Bill Goes Nowhere

[merrily]

7. Look at the part of the story that actually quotes Reid, rather

than the headline or the editorial commentary in the video.

The only direct quotes from Reid that I noticed in the story are:

Asked if he told Baucus that Reid would make time on the floor of the U.S. Senate to debate the measure, Reid said "No," four times.

"There's a lot of controversy on that, and I'm going to see how that plays out with my caucus and the Senate.," Reid told reporters on Capitol Hill.

As to the first sentence above, does it mean that Reid will never make time on the floor to debate the bill, or only that Reid did not already make a certain statement to Baucus?

As to the second sentence quoted above, what exactly does it mean?
