                       BUSINESS BEFORE THE SENATE

  Mr. SCHUMER. Mr. President, now, on Senate business, today will be 
another busy day on the Senate floor, as we continue confirming more 
highly qualified judicial nominees to serve on the Federal bench.
  Yesterday, we confirmed an outstanding circuit judge to a lifetime 
appointment for the Ninth Circuit. Today, we will continue to build on 
our efforts to restore balance to the Federal bench by holding votes on 
three more outstanding nominees.
  The Senate will hold two votes this morning to advance two district 
court judges, and, later this afternoon, we will have three votes on 
President Biden's highly qualified judicial nominees.
  And members should be aware that I filed cloture last night on two 
additional judges, and that moving their nominations forward will be a 
top priority for the Senate this week.
  I yield the floor.
  I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The clerk will call the roll.
  The senior assistant legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order 
for the quorum call be rescinded.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so 
ordered.
