  Mr. DODD. Mr. President, we have the high honor of having with us in 
the U.S. Senate today the President of Haiti, Rene Preval, who is 
visiting us in the Senate today. My colleague from Georgia, Senator 
Coverdell, and I had a very good meeting in the Senate Foreign 
Relations Committee.


                                 Recess

  Mr. DODD. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the Senate 
stand in recess for 5 minutes so that our colleagues may have the 
opportunity to greet President Preval.
  There being no objection, the Senate, at 5:05 p.m., recessed; 
whereupon, the Senate, at 5:11 p.m., reassembled when called to order 
by the Presiding Officer (Mr. Coats).
