  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection?
  The Republican leader.
  Mr. McCONNELL. Reserving the right to object, and I will not be 
objecting, this is a good step in the direction of getting the Senate 
back to a process under which amendments are allowed and voted on by 
both sides. I particularly thank Senator Isakson for his hard work on 
this.
  Obviously, I do not object.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
