BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. SCHUMER. Madam President, first I just want to say, before I move on a motion to discharge, it is really so good to have Vanita Gupta now installed as Associate Attorney General. To have someone with such a background in civil rights at this time in American history is so important and so vital to the country.

I am so glad that the Senate has now approved her and she can do her vital job, including dealing with the systemic bias we have seen in policing and in law enforcement throughout the country. So it is very good news for the forces of equality and justice in the country.

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. SCHUMER. Madam President, I ask that the motion to reconsider be made and laid upon the table with no intervening action or debate and that the President be immediately notified of the Senate's action.
