Mr. REID. Mr. President, I now move to proceed to H.R. 4156 and send a cloture motion to the desk and ask that once the motion is stated, the reading of the names be waived, and the motion to proceed be withdrawn.

The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.

The cloture motion having been presented under rule XXII, the Chair directs the clerk to read the motion.

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 H.R. 4156, the Orderly and Responsible Iraq Redeployment Appropriations Act, 2008.
Carl Levin, Robert Menendez, Claire McCaskill, Robert P. Casey, Jr., Richard J. Durbin, Tom Carper, Amy Klobuchar, Daniel K. Akaka, Jack Reed, Patty Murray, Sherrod Brown, Frank R. Lautenberg, Charles E. Schumer, Sheldon Whitehouse, Debbie Stabenow, Barbara A. Mikulski, Harry Reid.

Mr. REID. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the mandatory quorum call with respect to the cloture motion be waived.

The order of things is a little different here than today, but Reid clearly does ask to withdraw the motion once it is stated. This also resolves the “mandatory quorum” question we had for today, too. So it does look like a standard invocation of cloture.

and LS, i think KO must be reading LHP!

nice meeting you jim, see you later in the threads….

i’m off for a bit too. .

And quote us (though a little attribution wouldn’t hurt, darlin’s).

But did he say “Riddikkulus!” and start laughing?

I’m still at the office, woking on 3 briefs at once, so no KO for me tonight
