I ask unanimous consent that the Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship's rules for the 115th Congress be printed in the Record. There being no objection, the material was ordered to be printed in the Record, as follows: Senate…

I think it was a great appointment by the President.

I ask for the yeas and nays. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there a sufficient second? There appears to be a sufficient second. The clerk will call the roll. The legislative clerk called the roll. The result was announced--yeas 81, nays 19, as…

first of all, let me say thank you to my friend and colleague, the ranking member of the Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship. We have worked together successfully on several projects, and I have no doubt that we will continue…
