Official Congressional Record

Mr. President, today the Senate voice voted the motion to proceed to Calendar No. 320, H.R. 6500, the legislative vehicle for a continuing resolution. Had this been a recorded rollcall vote, I would have voted ``present’’ and ask that the Record reflect that accordingly.
