                                 RECESS

  Mr. DOLE. Mr. President, let me indicate that at 10 o'clock the 
Democratic leader, Republican leader in the Senate, and our 
counterparts in the House, the Speaker and I assume the majority leader 
and the minority leader, will go to the White House to meet with the 
President to see if there is something we can do yet this evening to 
work out a continuing resolution.
  If we are going to do that, we ought to be doing it in good faith and 
not be engaged in a brawl up here on the Senate floor. I therefore 
would hope that we could recess until the hour of 11 p.m., if that is 
satisfactory with the distinguished Democratic leader.
  Mr. DASCHLE. If the majority leader will yield, that is satisfactory. 
I think we need to come back and share with our colleagues whatever it 
is that may have occurred at the meeting, and so I think at least the 
two leaders will be coming back. But at that time we can make a 
decision about further action.
  Mr. DOLE. So I ask unanimous consent we stand in recess until 11 p.m.
  There being no objection, the Senate, at 9:10 p.m., recessed until 11 
p.m.; whereupon, the Senate reassembled when called to order by the 
Presiding Officer (Mr. Jeffords).

                  APPOINTMENT BY THE DEMOCRATIC LEADER

  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Chair, on behalf of the Democratic leader, 
pursuant to Public Law 103-322, announces the appointment of Gilbert L. 
Gallegos, of New Mexico, to the National Commission to Support Law 
Enforcement.
  Mr. WARNER addressed the Chair.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Virginia.
  Mr. WARNER. Mr. President, the leaders of the U.S. Senate, the 
majority leader and Democratic leader, are still at the White House 
with the President. Let us hope that is a good sign. And, therefore, 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. WARNER. 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the quorum call be rescinded.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. WARNER. Mr. President, we have contacted the White House. I am to 
report that the meeting is still in progress with the President. 
Accordingly, the Senate will remain in session and 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. DOLE. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for 
the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
