                           ZIKA VIRUS FUNDING

  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, the Democratic leader, who has been 
leading a partisan filibuster of anti-Zika funding for over a week, 
said this about anti-Zika funding yesterday:

       There's no excuse for inaction and partisanship. We can't 
     afford to waste another day, a week, another month.

  Maybe Democrats are finally ready to end their partisan attack on 
women's health. I certainly hope so, and, as I have said many times, 
they will have that opportunity soon.
