 PROVIDING FOR CONGRESSIONAL DISAPPROVAL OF THE RULE SUBMITTED BY THE 
    NLRB RELATING TO REPRESENTATION ELECTION PROCEDURES--MOTION TO 
                           PROCEED--Continued

  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Under the previous order, the Senate will 
resume consideration of the motion to proceed to S.J. Res. 36.
  The question is on agreeing to the motion.
  The majority leader.
  Mr. REID. Mr. President, we are going to have a bunch of votes today, 
and we are going to have to do them quickly. I say this to Democrats; I 
say it to Republicans: We are going to have--after this first vote, I 
ask unanimous consent that we have 10-minute votes.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. That is the order.
  Mr. REID. And we are going to enforce that. So if people are not 
here, they are going to miss a vote. Unless there is a situation where 
we have a close vote, then we will extend it a little bit because that 
is what the tradition has been. So I repeat, everybody be here or you 
are going to miss a vote if you are not here at the end of the time.
  Mr. President, I ask for the yeas and nays on this matter.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there a sufficient second?
  There appears to be a sufficient second.
  The clerk will call the roll.

desiring to vote?
