  As previously announced, the Senate will recess from 12:30 p.m. to 
2:15 p.m. for the Democratic Party luncheon. Following that recess, 
there will be 20 minutes remaining for debate before the vote on the 
adoption of the Department of Defense authorization conference report. 
Immediately following that vote, the Senate will vote on the adoption 
of the military construction appropriations conference report.
  As the majority leader stated previously, tonight we will begin an 
extended debate on judicial nominations. All Senators are encouraged to 
participate in this very important process.
  Mr. President, I yield the floor.
