Mr. President, I wish to thank my leader very much. Yesterday, Senator Inhofe and I were on the floor and I stated that if I felt there was an ironclad commitment to take care of the Flint, MI, problem and the lead in water across this Nation, I would support the CR. I interpret the strong language from my leader, Harry Reid, and the Republican majority leader, Senator McConnell, as an ironclad commitment. They spoke to the powers that be in the House. I know that Senator Inhofe and I are bound and determined to fix this, and believe me, I want to send a message to the people of Flint and to their Senators, who have worked their hearts out: This will happen. If it doesn't happen, I have some ideas of how I am going to protest it, but it will happen. I take it as an ironclad commitment. I yield the floor back to my colleague, Senator Reid. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Wisconsin. Unanimous Consent Request--S. 2912
