                   RECOGNITION OF THE MAJORITY LEADER

  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The majority leader is recognized.
  Mr. MITCHELL. Madam President, the Senate will shortly vote on a 
motion to request the Sergeant at Arms to obtain the presence of absent 
Senators. Immediately following that vote, the Senate will resume 
consideration of the pending bill, the Airport Improvement Act, and the 
amendment pending thereto. It is my hope that we can get a vote on that 
amendment today.
  As I indicated, we were prepared to vote on the matter on Thursday, 
we were prepared to vote on Friday, and we are prepared to vote today. 
I hope my colleagues will permit us to proceed to a vote on that matter 
today and then to complete action on the airport improvement bill as 
soon as possible.
  The Appropriations Committee is beginning to mark up appropriations 
bills today, and we will begin shortly a very intense and busy period 
in which action will be required on a large number of measures and it 
will, I believe, be helpful to the Senate as an institution and to 
individual Senators, if we can complete action on the pending measure 
as soon as possible.
  Madam President, I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
  The assistant legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. MITCHELL. Madam President, I ask unanimous consent that the order 
for the quorum call be rescinded.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so 
ordered.
