               RECOGNITION OF THE ACTING MAJORITY LEADER

  The PRESIDENT pro tempore. The able acting majority leader is 
recognized.
  Mr. GORTON. Mr. President, this morning the Senate will immediately 
resume consideration of the Department of Defense authorization 
conference report. There are 3 hours remaining for debate, with a vote 
occurring on adoption of the conference report at 12 noon. Following 
that vote, the Senate may begin consideration of S. 442, the Internet 
bill, under the consent agreement reached last night. The Senate may 
also begin consideration of the Cold Bay-King Cove legislation under a 
6-hour time agreement, or any other legislative or executive items 
cleared for action. Therefore, Members should expect rollcall votes 
throughout Thursday's session as the Senate continues to consider 
important legislation prior to sine die adjournment. I thank my 
colleagues for their attention.
