DEVELOPMENT, RELIEF, AND EDUCATION FOR ALIEN MINORS ACT OF 2007--MOTION 
                               TO PROCEED


                             cloture motion

  Mr. REID. Madam President, I was going to ask unanimous consent that 
the Senate proceed to the consideration of S. 2205 at a time to be 
determined, but I am advised that there would be a Republican 
objection. Therefore, I will not ask that unanimous consent. In view of 
that objection that would have been lodged, I now move to proceed to 
Calendar No. 431, S. 2205, the DREAM Act, and I send a cloture motion 
to the desk.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The cloture motion having been presented under 
rule XXII, the Chair directs the clerk to read the motion.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

                             Cloture Motion

       We, the undersigned Senators, in accordance with the 
     provisions of rule XXII of the Standing Rules of the Senate, 
     do hereby move to bring to a close debate on the motion to 
     proceed to Calendar No. 431, S. 2205, DREAM Act.
         Richard J. Durbin, Robert Menendez, Daniel K. Inouye, 
           Robert P. Casey, Jr., Joe Lieberman, Patty Murray, Jeff 
           Bingaman, Jack Reed, Patrick Leahy, Charles Schumer, 
           Daniel K. Akaka, Frank R. Lautenberg, Benjamin L. 
           Cardin, John Kerry, S. Whitehouse, Barbara Boxer, Harry 
           Reid.

  Mr. REID. Madam President, I ask unanimous consent that the mandatory 
quorum be waived.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. REID. Madam President, I withdraw the motion.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The motion is withdrawn.
