Absolutely. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Arizona is recognized. Mr. McCAIN. Mr. President, we are going to move forward to the Cordray nomination, which has been held up for some period of time. I would like to thank everybody on both sides of the aisle who was engaged in this debate and discussion. I would particularly like to thank all of my colleagues who engaged in a long but productive discussion last night--which is our custom--of the many issues that separate us, particularly some pending, what many of us believe to be a crisis in the history of the Senate. I wish to thank both our leaders, Senator McConnell and Senator Reid, and so many others who have been actively engaged in conversations that have been going on. I look forward to a vote as soon as possible on Mr. Cordray. I thank all of my colleagues for believing what I thought was very important in our relations with the Senate. I yield the floor. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The majority leader.
