                             Stock Trading

  Mr. President, finally, off the floor, I want to reiterate a brief 
point I made yesterday regarding stock trading and Members of Congress. 
I believe this is an important issue that Congress should address, and 
it is something that has clearly raised interest from both sides of the 
aisle over the past few weeks.
  As I said yesterday, there are a number of Senators with various 
proposals, and I have asked my Democratic colleagues to come together 
and come up with a single bill this Chamber can work on. I hope we can 
pass something. I want to encourage my colleagues on the Democratic 
side to reach out across the aisle. Some of the proposals--we have a 
whole bunch--have bipartisan support.
  This is something the Senate should address. Hopefully, we can act on 
it soon, and hopefully it can be done in a bipartisan way, like many of 
the bills we are looking at this week.
  I yield the floor.
  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. McCONNELL. I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum 
call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
