Federal Government to require the production of certain business 
records, conduct electronic surveillance, use pen registers and trap 
and trace devices, and use other forms of information gathering for 
foreign intelligence, counterterrorism, and criminal purposes, and for 
other purposes, shall be brought to a close?

  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. On this vote, the yeas are 57, the 
nays are 42.
  Three-fifths of the Senators duly chosen and sworn not having voted 
in the affirmative, the motion is rejected.
  The majority leader.
  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, I enter a motion to reconsider the 
vote.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The motion is entered.
  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, the Senate has demonstrated that the 
House-passed bill lacks the support of 60 Senators. I would urge a 
``yes'' vote on the 2-month extension. Senator

[[Page 7841]]

Burr, the chairman of the Intelligence Committee, and Senator 
Feinstein, the ranking member, as we all know, have been working on a 
proposal that they think would improve the version that the Senate has 
not accepted that the House sent over. It would allow the committee to 
work on this bill, refine it, and bring it before us for consideration. 
So the 2-month extension, it strikes me, would be in the best interest 
of getting an outcome that is acceptable to both the Senate and the 
House and hopefully the President.
  Mrs. BOXER. Mr. President.
  Mr. McCONNELL. So I would urge a ``yes'' vote.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The Senator from California.
