The yeas and nays are mandatory under the rule.
The clerk will call the roll.

The majority leader.
Mr. SCHUMER. Mr. President, there has been a good agreement--Senator Paul, Senator Stabenow, myself, Senator Murphy, Senator Brown--and so here is what--we are only going to have one more vote because we are vitiating--I think it is six cloture votes.
So listen, one and all. It is good news.
Cloture Motions Withdrawn
Mr. SCHUMER. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent to withdraw the cloture motion on the Harper, Bagenstos, Huie, Baker, and Hartley nominations, and the Senate vote on confirmation at a time to be determined by the majority leader or his designee, following consultation with the Republican leader.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there an objection?
Without objection, it is so ordered.
