Madam President, reserving the right to object, due to the winter storms that are shutting down airports around the country, Senator Lee, the Senator from Utah, who objects to this unanimous consent request is not here, and I had the bad luck to be here when he communicated to me his desire that I make an objection on his behalf. I would say to my friend from Colorado, I am a noncombatant on this issue. I didn't hold his bill. But I know Senator Lee does have an amendment, I believe, he wants to offer, and certainly he wants to be here to participate in the discussion and vote on the bill. So on his behalf, I object. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard. The Senator from Colorado.
