                                PROGRAM

  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, in a moment we will be adjourning until 
early December. When we return on Tuesday, December 7, we will be in 
morning business throughout the day. It is my hope that the 
intelligence reform conference report will be ready for consideration 
that afternoon.
  Finally, I thank my colleagues on both sides of the aisle. We have 
had a challenging few days as we worked through the issues remaining 
before us. Just moments ago, we were able to confirm a very large 
number of nominations, which have been waiting for Senate action for a 
long period of time. I thank the Democratic leadership, in particular, 
for their cooperation and efforts. It took persistence from both sides 
of the aisle, but it was very important that neither side gave up and 
the Senate was able to work its will on these nominations.
  I wish everybody a happy and safe Thanksgiving.
