                                 RECESS

  Mr. BYRD. Mr. President, there being no Senators seeking recognition 
and having discussed the following request with the distinguished 
majority whip and the distinguished manager on the other side of the 
aisle, it appears it might be best if the Senate stood in recess until 
12:15 p.m., during which time some work may be done hopefully that will 
speed up the entire process to some extent.
  I, therefore, ask unanimous consent that the Senate stand in recess 
until the hour of 12:15 p.m. today.
  There being no objection, at 11:39 a.m., the Senate recessed until 
12:15 p.m. and reassembled when called to order by the Presiding 
Officer (Ms. Stabenow).
