Madam President, I wish to underscore what the chairman has said. We worked very closely with Senator Moran, Senator Shaheen, and many others, including Senator Gillibrand and Senator Murray, to come up with a package. As the chairman announced previously, if this package had moved, it would have also unlocked numerous other amendments that we had cleared on both sides. But, unfortunately, because of the objection of an individual whom the chairman has cited, we are now coming to final passage. With that, I yield the floor. The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Under the previous order, all postcloture time on S. 2943 has expired. Vote on Amendment No. 4670, as Modified The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The question is on agreeing to amendment No. 4670, as modified, offered by the Senator from Florida, Mr. Nelson. Is there any further debate on the amendment? The Senator from Rhode Island.
