                          CONSTITUENT OUTREACH

  Mr. GRASSLEY. If you are going to have representative government, you 
have to have dialogue between constituents and those of us elected.
  Last week, I continued my annual 99 county meetings with Q&A's in 12 
of our 99 counties.
  No matter the setting, Iowans set the agenda at my meetings. Holding 
face-to-face meetings is the best way to hear what is on Iowans' minds, 
but it is not the only way.
  I encourage Iowans to write in or call my office to voice their 
opinions on any Federal issue. Iowans can also read my speeches and 
press releases on grassley.senate.gov; follow me on Facebook or on 
Twitter @chuckgrassley or @senatorchuckgrassley on Instagram.
  I enjoyed my conversations with Iowans last week.
  I yield the floor.
  I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
  The legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. McCONNELL. Madam President, I ask unanimous consent that the 
order for the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER (Ms. Ernst). Without objection, it is so 
ordered.
