  The PRESIDING OFFICER. On this vote the yeas are 52, the nays are 46. 
Three-fifths of the Senators duly chosen and sworn not having voted in 
the affirmative, the motion is rejected.

  Mr. REID. I enter a motion to reconsider the vote by which cloture 
was not invoked.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The motion is entered.
  The majority leader is recognized.
  Mr. REID. Mr. President, we expect one more vote today. I have not 
had a chance to discuss it in detail with Senator McConnell yet, but we 
hope to have a vote on a judge. We hope to have it at 2 o'clock today, 
so people should make their schedules accordingly.
