on behalf of Senator Murray, I call up the substitute amendment, No. 2789. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report the amendment. The legislative clerk read as follows: The Senator from Nevada [Mr. Reid], for Mrs. Murray, proposes an amendment numbered 2789. (The amendment is printed in the Record of Tuesday, September 11, 2012, under ``Text of Amendments.'')
