CLOTURE MOTION
The PRESIDING OFFICER. Pursuant to rule XXII, the Chair lays before the Senate the pending cloture motion, which the clerk will state.
The legislative clerk read as follows:
Cloture Motion
We, the undersigned Senators, in accordance with the provisions of rule XXII of the Standing Rules of the Senate, do hereby move to bring to a close debate on the motion to proceed to Calendar No. 32, S. 326, a bill to direct the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to carry out a study and clinical trials on the effects of cannabis on certain health outcomes of veterans with chronic pain and post-traumatic stress disorder, and for other purposes.
Charles E. Schumer, Jon Tester, Alex Padilla, Christopher
Murphy, Jeff Merkley, Michael F. Bennet, Tammy Baldwin,
Richard J. Durbin, Mazie K. Hirono, Gary C. Peters,
Margaret Wood Hassan, Brian Schatz, Tammy Duckworth,
Catherine Cortez Masto, Cory A. Booker, Jack Reed,
Raphael G. Warnock.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. By unanimous consent, the mandatory quorum call has been waived.
The question is, Is it the sense of the Senate that debate on the motion to proceed to S. 326, a bill to direct the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to carry out a study and clinical trials on the effects of cannabis on certain health outcomes of veterans with chronic pain and post-traumatic stress disorder, and for other purposes, shall be brought to a close?
The yeas and nays are mandatory under the rule.
The clerk will call the roll.
The legislative clerk called the roll.
Mr. DURBIN. I announce that the Senator from California (Mrs. Feinstein) is necessarily absent.
The yeas and nays resulted--yeas 57, nays 42, as follows:

The majority leader.
Motion to Reconsider
Mr. SCHUMER. Mr. President, first, to just inform folks, in our arcane processes in the Senate, I have to switch my vote from yes to no--even though I am a strong yes--in order to be able to reconsider this vote.
So I enter a motion to reconsider.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. The motion is entered.
Mr. SCHUMER. Mr. President, it is regrettable that this bill, which so much helps our veterans, went down. Our veterans need it. It was supported by all of our veterans groups. It had bipartisan, unanimous support in committee, and I hope that some of our Members on the other side of the aisle who didn't vote for it will reconsider.
Order of Procedure
Mr. SCHUMER. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the Senate resume legislative session; that the Committee on Environment and Public Works be discharged from further consideration of S.J. Res. 11; that the Senate proceed to its immediate consideration; that at 4:20 p.m., the joint resolution be considered read the third time and the Senate vote on passage without any further intervening action or debate; and that, upon disposition of S.J. Res. 11, the Senate resume the motion to proceed to S.J. Res. 4, the Equal Rights Amendment.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
Mr. SCHUMER. I yield the floor.
