                         ORDER FOR ADJOURNMENT

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, if there is no further business to come 
before the Senate, I ask unanimous consent that the Senate stand in 
adjournment following the statement of the Senator from Alaska, which 
is for debate only, as we have discussed.
  Mr. MURKOWSKI. Mr. President, reserving the right to object, I have 
been notified there may be another Republican who will speak.
  Mr. REID. I am going to include that.
  If there is no further business to come before the Senate, I ask 
unanimous consent that the Senate stand in adjournment under the 
previous order following the statements of the Senator from Alaska, Mr. 
Murkowski, and the Senator from Texas, Mr. Gramm, and that their 
statements be for debate only.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. REID. Mr. President, let me take a minute and say I appreciate 
very much the courtesy of the Senator from Alaska. He has been here for 
days. With his courtesy, I can go home a couple hours before he can, 
and I appreciate that very much.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Alaska is recognized.
