                         ORDER FOR ADJOURNMENT

  Mr. NICKLES. Madam President, 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 remarks of Senator 
Pryor for up to 10 minutes and Senator Landrieu for up to 20 minutes.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  The Senator from North Dakota.
  Mr. CONRAD. Madam President, I might ask the Chair as well, could we 
agree that we would start on the Boxer amendment tomorrow morning?

[[Page S2586]]

  Mr. NICKLES. That would be my expectation.
  Mr. CONRAD. I think that is important, just so the Senator is here 
and prepared to move forward with her amendment. It is also important 
to say, Madam President, that we won several important victories today 
and that we anticipate a string of additional victories tomorrow that 
will allow us to conclude our work at an even earlier point.
  On a serious note, I thank the chairman and his staff for working 
cooperatively throughout the day. We are very hopeful that we will be 
able to end this sometime Friday morning, everybody having had a chance 
to debate and offer important amendments. That does not mean they need 
to offer every amendment. We hope Senators will show restraint. We hope 
Senators will eliminate duplication so that we can hold down the number 
of votes in vote-a-rama.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Arkansas is recognized.
