                        Tribute to Jenni Katzman

  Madam President, before I yield the floor, just a note of thanks to 
Jenni Katzman, who has been in our office and her last day in the 
Senate, sadly, is today.
  She served our office as chief of domestic policy and general counsel 
for the past 3 years, and she is moving on, always giving public 
service a good name.
  It has been a pleasure to work with her to assist the people of 
Oregon and our country. During the time she has been with us, she 
assisted with the confirmation of stellar judges from my State, written 
legislation to make our judicial system more fair, and provided very 
valuable counsel to me and my staff.
  I want to close, as we wrap up what is going to be an effort on my 
part to provide regular updates on the consequences of what will happen 
if this judge in Texas puts in place a nationwide ban--nationwide, 
every single State. I hope I don't have to come to the floor again and 
again and again. But I think it is important that people understand, as 
I have learned in the last couple of weeks, what the human consequences 
are of going backward here, after the Court said that there wouldn't be 
a nationwide ban, after they said it repeatedly that it is going to go 
to the States. It would be a huge mistake for America.
  I want to also note that the President of the Senate has been the 
leader of this cause for many, many years. I admire her greatly for 
that leadership.
  I yield the floor.
  I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDENT pro tempore. The clerk will call the roll.
  The bill clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. SCHUMER. Madam President, I ask unanimous consent that the order 
for the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so ordered.
