                               ZIKA VIRUS

  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, we all agree that the Zika virus is a 
real threat and needs to be addressed. Republicans and Democrats worked 
together to pass a bill here in the Senate to provide funding and 
resources. The House passed its own version. We are now ready to go to 
conference and complete a final bill. I will have more to say on that 
soon, but I appreciate the hard work of Members on both sides of the 
aisle in crafting the Senate's response.
