On the recordDecember 19, 2019
Mr. President, I would ask unanimous consent that this be separate from the discussion that we are now having, but I would ask unanimous consent that at 12 p.m. today, postcloture time on the motion to concur in the House amendment to the Senate amendment to H.R. 1865 expire; the other pending motions and amendments be withdrawn; and Senator Enzi or his designee be recognized to raise a budget point of order, followed by Senator Shelby or his designee to make a motion to waive the budget point of order; finally, if the motion to waive is agreed to, the Senate vote on the motion to concur in the House amendment to the Senate amendment to H.R. 1865 with no intervening action or debate. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection? I recognize the Senator from Wyoming.
