  Mr. MITCHELL. Mr. President, I have just met with the distinguished 
Republican leader, and we have discussed how best to proceed with 
respect to the pending and now only remaining bill on which action will 
be required before the Independence Day recess, and the distinguished 
Republican leader is now consulting with his colleagues on a proposal 
which I made to him in that regard. I expect to have a response and 
therefore an announcement shortly.
  So I will momentarily suggest the absence of a quorum and ask that 
the managers of the Department of Defense authorization bill come to 
the floor and be ready to proceed in a short time.
  Accordingly, I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
  The bill clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. MITCHELL. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order 
for the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. MITCHELL. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the 
distinguished Senator from Rhode Island be recognized to address the 
Senate as in morning business for up to 3 minutes.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Rhode Island, Mr. [Pell], is 
recognized.
