  The motion was agreed to.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Markey). The majority leader.
  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I ask this consent agreement under the 
background that the government is closed. All over America Federal 
employees were given 4 hours this morning to clear out their e-mails, 
computers, and close down their offices. All over America they were 
asked to come to work at 8 o'clock this morning, but by noon they will 
be out of their offices.
  The government is closed because of the irrationality of what is 
going on on the other side of the Capitol. That is unfortunate, but 
that is the way it is. I will have more to say later.
