                         CONTINUING RESOLUTION

  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, Senators have been continuing their 
work across the aisle to reach an agreement on a continuing resolution 
that will help keep Americans safer from Zika, provide critical funding 
for veterans, and keep the government open.
  I have been encouraged by the progress that we have made so far, and 
I hope to see it continue as we work toward a final bill which will 
extend through December 9 at last year's enacted level.
  We all know how important the measure is. So let's keep working and 
get this done.
