       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 Kelly Craft, of Kentucky, to be Representative of the

  The PRESIDING OFFICER. By unanimous consent, the mandatory quorum

  The question is, Is it the sense of the Senate that debate on the 
nomination of Kelly Craft, of Kentucky, to be the Representative of the 
United States of America to the Sessions of the General Assembly of the 
United Nations during her tenure of service as Representative of the 
United States of America to the United Nations, shall be brought to a 
close?
