                   RECOGNITION OF THE MINORITY LEADER

  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The Republican leader is 
recognized.
  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, let me indicate I probably will give 
some of that time to one of my colleagues on this side of the aisle and 
use the leader time. But I will have a very brief statement right 
before the vote.
  I commend the majority leader and all of us for working together, 
frankly, to get this bill down to the President at the earliest 
possible time.
  I yield the floor.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The Senator from Michigan is 
recognized.
  Mr. LEVIN. Mr. President, are we under controlled time at this point?
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Yes.
  Mr. LEVIN. Mr. President, I yield myself 8 minutes.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The Senator has 8 minutes.
