Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that all votes after the first vote this morning in this series be 10 minute votes. The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Is there objection? Without objection, it is so ordered. By unanimous consent, the mandatory quorum call has been waived. The question is, Is it the sense of the Senate that debate on amendment No. 4596, as modified, to H.R. 5297, the Small Business Lending Fund Act of 2010, shall be brought to a close? The yeas and nays are mandatory under the rule. The clerk will call the roll. The legislative clerk called the roll.
