Mr. President, for the benefit of the Members who are participating by Zoom, as well as the general public, we are having some technical difficulties here on the Senate floor. We have been advised that the actions that have happened on the floor have been broadcast, the Members who are participating by Zoom have been able to hear the discussion and debate on the floor that has been broadcast. But the one item that we have left is a meeting of the Committee on Judiciary, and we are unable to have that committee meeting until this is either corrected or we find a solution that allows all of the Members who are not present here today to be able to participate in that. So, we are going to ask that we go at ease. We are hoping that sooner rather than later the technical difficulties can be corrected, but we also will discuss with the Democratic Members if there are other options just to make sure that all Members, whether here or not here, can participate in the meeting of the Committee on Judiciary. Thank you, Mr. President. The PRESIDENT. The Senate will now go at ease. (The Senate was at ease.)
