  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The Democratic leader.
  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I know the leader is planning on having 
votes on Monday night, and the distinguished whip will announce shortly 
that there will be multiple votes Monday night. I ask unanimous consent 
that there be no more than two votes Monday night.
  Mr. McCONNELL. That would be our understanding.
  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I would simply say, I do not want those 
people who may have to miss a vote Monday night for other reasons to 
think they are going to miss 15 or 20 votes.
  Mr. McCONNELL. Yes.
  Mr. REID. No objection.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so 
ordered.
