                         DAY OF RECONCILIATION

  Mr. BROWNBACK. Mr. President, I appreciate the time to be able to 
address the body on a key issue we will be taking up for a vote on 
Monday. Before I do that, I would like to make an announcement of an 
activity in which the Presiding Officer and I have been directly 
involved. On December 4, Tuesday this next week, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., 
it is going to be a day of reconciliation, a time period in the Rotunda 
for Members of both the House and Senate sides. This is going to be a 
time for the leaders of the country to get together and pray for the 
Nation. It is going to be December 4, 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., just the 
leaders of the House, Senate, and administration. It will not be open 
to the public. I do hope Members can attend and be a part of that 
process and that ceremony. It is something the country used to do 
frequently and hasn't for a number of years. That will be December 4, 5 
to 7 p.m., in the Rotunda.
