as I noted before, I was withholding a unanimous consent request until the very distinguished senior Senator was here. So I ask unanimous consent that the Senate proceed to the immediate consideration of Calendar No. 140, H.R. 2740; that the Leahy substitute amendment that would provide funding for COVID testing and tracing and is at the desk be considered and agreed to; that the bill, as amended, be considered read a third time and passed; and that the motion to reconsider be considered made and laid upon the table with no intervening action or debate. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection?
