Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the committee- reported amendments be agreed to, the motions to reconsider be considered made and laid upon the table, with no intervening action or debate; further, that the amended version be considered original text for the purposes of further amendment. The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Is there an objection? Without objection, it is so ordered. The committee-reported amendments were agreed to.
