                 Unanimous Consent Request--S. Res. 601

  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, as in if legislative session, I ask 
unanimous consent that the Senate proceed to the consideration of S. 
Res. 601 submitted earlier today. I ask unanimous consent that the 
resolution be agreed to, the preamble be agreed to, and the motions to 
reconsider be considered made and laid upon the table with no 
intervening action or debate.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection?
  Mr. SCHUMER. Reserving the right to object.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Democratic leader.
  Mr. SCHUMER. Mr. President, it is very simple why the Republican 
leader objected to our resolution and offers this one instead. It is 
because they do not want to condemn what the President did, though 
every fair-minded American of any political party would.
  We certainly should condemn violence. Let me repeat: This resolution 
condemns violence. But it is insufficient, in the light of what 
happened yesterday, to just condemn violence and not condemn what the 
President did as well, so I will object to my colleague's resolution.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard.
