  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that if cloture 
is invoked on the Hendrix nomination, all postcloture time expire at 
2:45 p.m. today and the Senate vote on confirmation of the nomination; 
further, that if confirmed, the motion to reconsider be considered made 
and laid upon the table and the President be immediately notified of 
the Senate's action.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  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 James Wesley Hendrix, of Texas, to be United States 
District Judge for the Northern District of Texas shall be brought to a 
close?
  The yeas and nays are mandatory under the rule.
  The clerk will call the roll.
