Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the Senate proceed to the immediate consideration of a bill--the provision in this bill we just dealt with--to extend the temporary increase of the Medicaid FMAP through June 30, 2011; that the bill be read the third time, passed, and the motion to reconsider be laid upon the table; that any statements relating to the matter be printed in the Record, as if read, with no further intervening action or debate. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection? Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, this issue is currently covered through the end of this calendar year. This matter doesn't have the urgency at the moment that some of the others arguably do. We still have 6 months to address this issue. Therefore, for the moment, I object. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard.
