“Madam President, in a moment I will ask unanimous consent to withdraw this amendment. I think there is a better way to tackle this particular issue. But I will use this moment to note for my colleagues that I appreciate all the Senators who have come to me to say they share the outrage at the exploitative, predatory pricing of force-placed insurance on our homeowners.

I ask unanimous consent to withdraw my amendment No. 2709, as modified. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. The amendment is withdrawn. The Senator from New Jersey.”
