For the information of Senators, I expect one more rollcall vote today, which will be on the Lee amendment. Mr. President, I am glad we are taking another step towards final passage today, and we will keep going when we return next week. Providing for our national defense is always one of our highest responsibilities in Congress and something that should always be bipartisan, and today, we are seeing that play out in the Senate. I want to thank my colleagues. For both sides, this has been a lot of bipartisan cooperation and back-and-forth, and I want to thank my colleagues on both sides for their good work. I also want to thank Chairman Menendez and Senator Scott for agreeing to work on their differences with respect to the Scott amendment, to work out their differences in the conference committee. I have given both of them my assurance that I will work with them to find an amicable solution. I yield floor. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Utah. Amendment No. 376
