                   CONFIRMATION OF LaDON A. REYNOLDS

  Mr. DURBIN. Madam President, let me just close by saying that last 
week, the Senate did a great job filling another critical law 
enforcement vacancy in Chicago. We confirmed Oak Park Police Chief 
LaDon Reynolds to be our Northern District's next U.S. marshal. That 
seat has been vacant for almost 4 years. It is a critical position for 
reducing crime, apprehending fugitives, and protecting our judges.
  Marshal Reynolds is the man for the job. Breaking the cycle of 
violence in Chicago and across America requires the best. All of us 
need to pull together: families, schools, community organizations, law 
enforcement, the public health community, faith leaders, the business 
community, and more. I am glad that the HEAL Initiative is a start in 
that direction. We have more work to do, and we cannot allow any petty 
Washington politics to get in the way.
  I yield the floor.
  I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
  The bill clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. GRASSLEY. Madam President, I ask unanimous consent that the order 
for the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER (Ms. Duckworth). Without objection, it is so 
ordered.
