                           Order of Business

  Mr. SCHUMER. Mr. President, the negotiations are currently making 
progress. As Speaker McCarthy has said, he expects the House will vote 
next week if an agreement is reached, and the Senate would begin 
consideration after that.
  Following the vote on the Abudu nomination, Members should remain 
aware and be able to return to the Senate within a 24-hour period to 
fulfill our responsibilities to avoid default.
  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.
  Mrs. BLACKBURN. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order 
for the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
