Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the Senate now proceed to the consideration of S. Res. 209, which was submitted earlier today. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. The clerk will report. The assistant legislative clerk read as follows: A resolution (S. Res. 209) congratulating the Dallas Mavericks on winning the 2011 National Basketball Association Championship. There being no objection, the Senate proceeded to consider the resolution.
