Lifting of the quorum call . The presiding officer the senator may proceed. Mr. Nelson thank you, madam president.

S. House, the u. S. Senate, and the white house. We also know that unless a budget agreement is reached by december 22, the United States government will shut down, which will cause serious harm to our country, including the men and women in the armed forces and our veterans. Mr. President , i do not know why the Republican Party, which controls all the branches of government, wants to shut our government down. I think thats wrong. I think a shutdown will be very hurtful to people from coast to coast. Now, President Trump said earlier this year, he tweeted, quote, our country needs a good shutdown, end of quote.
