  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, just a brief observation about the vote 
we just had. I would say to our colleague from Kentucky, Senator Paul, 
the issue of the American effort in Libya is a legitimate discussion 
for debate, I think a legitimate issue for debate. That is a debate we 
need to have, and I will be talking to the majority leader about the 
appropriate time to do that.
  A number of Senators are talking among themselves on a bipartisan 
basis about what kind of resolution would be appropriate, and certainly 
the Senate speaking on this issue is something we need to do in the 
very near future.
  I yield the floor and suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
  The assistant legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. HARKIN. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for 
the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
