Senate completes its business today, it adjourn until 10 a.m. Tuesday, 
February 3; that following the prayer and pledge, the morning hour be 
deemed expired, the Journal of proceedings be approved to date, and the

that following leader remarks, the Senate will be in a period of 
morning business for 1 hour, with Senators permitted to speak therein,

H.R. 203, the Clay Hunt SAV Act, with the time until 12 p.m. equally 
divided, and following the use or yielding back of time, the bill be 
read a third time and the Senate vote on passage of the bill. I ask 
consent that the Senate recess following the vote until 2:15 p.m. to 
allow for the weekly conference meetings.

should get beyond the discussion as to whether climate change is real--
  Mr. CORNYN. Mr. President, I ask for regular order.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection to the unanimous consent 
request?
  Mr. WHITEHOUSE. I object.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard.
  Mr. CORNYN. I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
  The assistant legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. CORNYN. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for 
the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. CORNYN. Mr. President, I renew my unanimous consent request. I 
have conferred with the Senator from Rhode Island and yield to him for 
purposes of asking a question.
  Mr. WHITEHOUSE. Reserving the right to object--it is not in the form 
of a question--but, as I said, during the Keystone debate, the energy 
committee chair said we should get beyond the discussion as to whether 
climate change is real and talk about what do we do. I will not take 
more time now than to say that I hope we soon do get to that question: 
What do we do?
  With that, I will not object.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
