this motion is meant to delay or kill this bill. If adopted, it would harm the IRS's ability to carry out its duties by preventing the Agency from hiring new workers. Federal employees are returning to in-person work, but Agencies need flexibility that telework and remote work provide to compete with the private sector, retain qualified workers, and serve the American people effectively. Telework can also ensure Federal employees can continue to serve the people and stay safe if COVID variants or other public health threats disrupt in-person work.

The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection? Without objection, it is so ordered. The Senator from Maine. Vote on Motion
