in a moment I am going to note the absence of a quorum unless there is someone who wishes to speak. I want to try to work through this pending issue. I think it is the last issue we need to work through in some way before there will be a unanimous consent request that is propounded. If we can figure out the best way to handle this, and then offer a unanimous consent request, we will be able to reach the end of the bill this very day. So I suggest the absence of a quorum. Oh, I withhold that. Mr. McCAIN. I would just ask my friend--I understand we have a managers' package--is it his preference we have the managers' package done at the same time as the UC; do that together?
