Harry Reid said "Senator Schumer and Senator Alexander are that far from an agreement that we can move forward on the next bill. So with everyone's patience, I ask unanimous consent that the cloture vote scheduled to occur immediately--right now--be postponed until Wednesday; that is tomorrow, June 22, at a time to be determined by the majority leader, in consultation with the Republican leader, and that if cloture is invoked tomorrow, time postcloture be counted as if cloture was invoked at 6 p.m. today. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection? Without objection, it is so ordered. ___________________
