                            ORDER FOR RECESS

  Mr. LOTT. With that in mind, I now ask that following the remarks of 
Senator Harkin and Senator Hutchinson, who is on the floor also, the 
Senate stand in recess until 4:30 p.m. today.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. LOTT. I yield the floor.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Iowa.
  Mr. HARKIN. Mr. President, I appreciate the indulgence of the 
majority leader. I do feel very strongly about this issue. That is why 
I am objecting to their being brought up, and if they were brought up, 
I would certainly be here to speak about them at length. I don't think 
there should be votes on them today. I would be prepared to talk at 
length further on Fed policy and on these nominees in particular, if 
need be. Hopefully, we can reach some resolution of this matter. If not 
now, perhaps later on. Not today, certainly, but hopefully perhaps 
sometime later on this week.
  I yield the floor.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER (Ms. Collins). The Senator from Arkansas.
  Mr. HUTCHINSON. I ask unanimous consent to proceed as in morning 
business.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
