Madam President, I ask unanimous consent that all time be yielded back. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection? Without objection, it is so ordered. By unanimous consent, the mandatory quorum call is waived. The question is, Is it the sense of the Senate that debate on the nomination of Mark Gaston Pearce, of New York, to be a Member of the National Labor Relations Board for the term of 5 years expiring August 27, 2018, 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.
