On the recordAugust 8, 2021
it has been a long day, but we have plowed through as I have intended, and the cloture motion on the final bill has passed by a very handsome, overwhelming vote. And now we will continue to move forward on the infrastructure bill. The substitute amendment, which is the text of the bipartisan bill, has been agreed to, and cloture has been invoked on the underlying bill. We will move forward. Amendments are no longer in order, and we will move forward to wrap this up as expeditiously as possible and then move on to the budget resolution with reconciliation instructions. The two-track process is moving along. It has been a process that has been a very good process. It has taken a while, but it is going to be worth it, as, hopefully, we will have both bills very, very soon--the bipartisan infrastructure bill and the budget resolution with reconciliation instructions ____________________
