FLOOD INSURANCE REFORM AND MODERNIZATION ACT OF 2007--MOTION TO PROCEED

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I now move to proceed to Calendar No. 460, 
S. 2284, the National Flood Insurance Act Amendments.
  Before sending a cloture motion to the desk, I told the minority 
leader yesterday I was filing this and that this would be the thing we 
would go to as soon as we finish FAA. I hope that it is not necessary 
to have a vote for cloture. I hope they will allow us to move to FAA on 
Tuesday. If they do, we will proceed quickly to move to this flood 
insurance act.


                             Cloture Motion

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I sent a cloture motion to the desk.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The clerk will report the motion.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

                             Cloture Motion

       We, the undersigned Senators, in accordance with the 
     provisions of rule XXII of the Standing Rules of the Senate, 
     hereby move to bring to a close debate on the motion to 
     proceed to Calendar No. 460, S. 2284, the National Floor 
     Insurane Act Amendments.
         Harry Reid, Barbara Boxer, Patty Murray, Byron L. Dorgan, 
           Edward M. Kennedy, Christopher J. Dodd, Daniel K. 
           Akaka, Benjamin L. Cardin, Patrick J. Leahy, Bernard 
           Sanders, Sherrod Brown, Amy Klobuchar, Ken Salazar, 
           Sheldon Whitehouse, Max Baucus, Daniel K. Inouye.

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent, notwithstanding an 
adjournment of the Senate, that Monday, May 5, count as the intervening 
day under rule XXII; further, that this cloture vote not occur prior to 
the previously ordered cloture vote on the Rockefeller substitute 
amendment No. 4627; provided further, that the mandatory quorum be 
waived, and I now withdraw the motion.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so 
ordered.
