Further reserving the right to object--and I will be brief--I thank the leader, the distinguished Senator from Nevada. His desire to finally end secret holds is clear. All Americans should understand that the Senator from Nevada has worked very closely with Senator Grassley and me on this. I appreciate the Senator's statement tonight that he will try to get an up-or-down vote on this matter before the end of the next work period. With that, I withdraw my reservation. The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Begich). Is there objection? The Senator from Oregon.
