We have other Senators who are going to speak. Given the limitation on our time, what I wish to do, Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the Senate proceed to the immediate consideration of Calendar No. 559, H.R. 6429, that the bill be read a third time and passed, the motion to reconsider be made and laid on the table, and that any statements relating to the bill be printed in the Record. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection?
