I ask unanimous consent that the Banking Committee be discharged from further consideration of S. 1874, the HUBZone Qualified Census Tract Act of 2011; that the Senate proceed to its consideration; that the bill be read a third time and passed, the motion to reconsider be laid upon the table, with no interviewing action or debate, and any statements related to the bill be printed in the Record as if read. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection?
