reserving the right to object, I am here today to object to this unanimous consent request on behalf of the junior Senator from Texas, Senator Cruz. As the Senator from Massachusetts knows, Senator Cruz is also deeply interested in this issue. Both Senators have complementary pieces of legislation. They have had the language of their legislation agreed to unanimously by both the majority and the minority of the Commerce Committee. So I would ask the Senator from Massachusetts to reach out to the Senator from Texas, and I understand he is fully willing to work with the Senator from Massachusetts on amending the House bill to ensure that it passes the Senate with the Cruz amendment that would not be objectionable to supporters of this bill. As a result, I object. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard.
