I have an amendment at the desk. The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The clerk will report the amendment. The legislative clerk read as follows: The Senator from Nevada [Mr. Reid], for himself and Mr. McConnell, proposes an amendment numbered 1465. The amendment is printed in today's Record under ``Text of Amendments.'' The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Under the previous order, the question is on agreeing to the amendment, which is subject to a 60-vote threshold.
