H.R. 203, the Clay Hunt SAV Act, with the time until 12 p.m. equally

  Mr. CORNYN. Mr. President, I ask for regular order.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection to the unanimous consent 
request?
  Mr. WHITEHOUSE. I object.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard.
  Mr. CORNYN. I 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. CORNYN. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for 
the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. CORNYN. Mr. President, I renew my unanimous consent request. I 
have conferred with the Senator from Rhode Island and yield to him for 
purposes of asking a question.
  Mr. WHITEHOUSE. Reserving the right to object--it is not in the form 
of a question--but, as I said, during the Keystone debate, the energy 
committee chair said we should get beyond the discussion as to whether 
climate change is real and talk about what do we do. I will not take 
more time now than to say that I hope we soon do get to that question: 
What do we do?
  With that, I will not object.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
