we have been trying to set a vote here on the amendment offered by Senator Cornyn since about 2, 2:15. I had hoped to vote at 3, and then I had hoped to vote at 3:30. The Senator from Illinois advised me a few moments ago that his preference would be to vote at 4:15. We are willing to accommodate that preference unless there is some inclination to vote sooner than 4:15. Therefore, I ask unanimous consent that we set the vote on the Cornyn amendment for 4:15, with the time equally divided between now and then. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Democratic leader.
