                           Order of Business

  Mr. SCHUMER. Mr. President, now we have worked long, hard, and 
collaboratively to finish this important bipartisan bill.
  The Senate has considered 22 amendments during this process, and we 
have been willing to consider many more. In fact, we have been trying 
to vote on amendments all day but have encountered numerous objections 
from the other side.
  However, we very much want to finish this important bill, so we will 
reconvene Saturday at noon to vote on cloture, and then we will follow 
the regular order to finish the bill.
  I yield the floor.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Arizona.
  Ms. SINEMA. Mr. President, I rise in support of the majority leader's 
comments, and I want to commend my colleagues for the work we have done 
together in a bipartisan fashion over the last 4 days, considering and 
clearing 22 amendments as a body together in the Senate.
  And while we were unable to agree on additional amendments today, I 
do also look forward to us reconvening together on Saturday and 
proceeding under regular order to finish what will be a historic piece 
of legislation both in its bipartisan nature and in the impact it will 
have on our country.
  I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
  The senior assistant legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. SCHATZ. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for 
the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Kelly). Without objection, it is so 
ordered.
