                             Cloture Motion

       We, the undersigned Senators, in accordance with the 
     provisions of rule XXII of the Standing Rules of the Senate, 
     do hereby move to bring to a close debate on the nomination 
     of Raul M. Arias-Marxuach, of Puerto Rico, to be United 
     States District Judge for the District of Puerto Rico.

  The PRESIDING OFFICER. By unanimous consent, the mandatory quorum 
call has been waived.
  The question is, Is it the sense of the Senate that debate on the 
nomination of Raul M. Arias-Marxuach, of Puerto Rico, to be United 
States District Judge for the District of Puerto Rico, shall be brought 
to a close?
  The yeas and nays are mandatory under the rule.
  I will remind the Senate this is a 10-minute vote, and we got the 
last vote done in an excellent 20 minutes. Let's see if we can do 
better.
  The clerk will call the roll.
  The bill clerk called the roll.
