         UNANIMOUS CONSENT AGREEMENT--VOTE ON MOTION TO ADJOURN

  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the Senate 
vote on the motion to adjourn at the hour of 5:15 today.
  The PRESIDENT pro tempore. Is there objection?
  Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, I ask for the yeas and nays.
  The PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, we will order the yeas 
and nays.
  Is there a sufficient second?
  There is a sufficient second.
  The yeas and nays were ordered.
  The PRESIDENT pro tempore. The Senator from Nevada.
  Mr. REID. Mr. President, if I could get the attention of my 
counterpart, the distinguished Senator from Kentucky, there are 
Senators here on the floor now. We will have the vote stay open for 
certainly past 15 minutes. I am wondering if we could go ahead and 
start the vote now. There is no other business to come before the 
Senate. There are Members in the Chamber from both sides of the aisle.
  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, let me say that we are just hotlining 
it now. If I could ask my friend from Nevada to withhold temporarily, 
we will be able to give him an answer shortly.
  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDENT pro tempore. The clerk will call the roll.
  The 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for the quorum call be rescinded.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 PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so ordered.
