[[Page S141]]

  

  Mr. SCHUMER. I call up substitute amendment No. 1381.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report the amendment by number.
  The senior assistant legislative clerk read as follows:

       The Senator from New York [Mr. Schumer], for Mrs. Murray, 
     proposes an amendment numbered 1381.

  Mr. SCHUMER. I ask that further reading the amendment be dispensed 
with.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  (The amendment is printed in the Record of January 16, 2024, under 
``Text of Amendments.'')
  Mr. SCHUMER. Madam President, there is good news. We have just agreed 
to lock in an agreement and pass a bill tomorrow that will fund the 
government and avoid an unnecessary government shutdown. This CR will 
give Congress time to continue working on the appropriations process to 
fund the government for the rest of the fiscal year. We hope that the 
House will take up this bill before the Friday deadline with bipartisan 
support. I appreciate the work of all the leaders to move forward with 
this CR.
  And, in conclusion, I hope--truly hope--we will see the same 
bipartisanship we have seen tonight in the Senate continue as we tackle 
the very important supplemental and appropriations bills before us.
