                            ORDER FOR RECESS

  Mr. WARNER. I ask unanimous consent that the Senate stand in recess 
at the hour of 12:45 to accommodate the Secretary of Defense, who will 
be briefing us, and resume at 2:15.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Nevada.
  Mr. REID. I think the two managers are very wise, offering the 
opportunity for everyone to go to hear the Secretary of Defense and the 
three generals who testified yesterday. It is commendable. It speaks 
well of the management of the Senate floor because there would be 
nothing happening here anyway. Everyone needs to go there. So I commend 
the two managers of this bill.
  Has the Senator offered a unanimous consent that we would be out from 
12:45 to 2:15?
  Mr. WARNER. That is correct. It is essential that Senator Levin and I 
be present with the Secretary.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. WARNER. Mr. President, I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
  The assistant legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. WARNER. I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum 
call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Craig). Without objection, it is so 
ordered.
