                          Motion to Reconsider

  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, I enter a motion to reconsider the 
vote.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The motion is entered.
  The majority leader.
  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, I want to explain the reason I changed 
to no.
  I am in strong support of the bill that has been crafted by the 
Senator from South Carolina. In order to have an opportunity to 
reconsider the vote without waiting for 2 days, I changed my vote and 
moved to reconsider, which means that it could come back at any time 
should progress be made.
