Tom Harkin: “I ask unanimous consent the time be yielded back. The PRESIDING…”

On the recordJuly 30, 2013

I ask unanimous consent the time be yielded back. The PRESIDING OFFICER. 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 the nomination of Nancy Jean Schiffer, of Maryland, to be a Member of the National Labor Relations Board, shall be brought to a close? The yeas and nays are mandatory under the rule. The clerk will call the roll. The assistant bill clerk called the roll.
