                              Coronavirus

  Now, Mr. President, everyone here knows how strongly I feel that we 
get a COVID supplemental passed as soon as possible. We do not know 
when the next variant might come or how bad it could be. We don't want 
to end up in the same position as before, when we did not have enough 
tests or vaccines or therapeutics. We all know we have to get funding 
for a COVID supplemental passed and soon.
  So let's get both of these passed together to make sure we are doing 
everything to keep every part of our economy up and running and so that 
this administration has what it needs to fund every other tool that we 
know will keep restaurants open, keep our schools open, and every other 
part of our communities.
  I feel strongly that we need to pass both of those bills. So let's 
get them done together, and let's get it done as soon as possible. 
Let's keep America healthy and our restaurants open for business.
  I yield the floor.
  I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The clerk will call the roll.
  The legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. DURBIN. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for 
the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Kaine). Without objection, it is so 
ordered.
