                         ORDER FOR ADJOURNMENT

  Mr. ALLARD. Mr. 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 
Harkin for up to 15 minutes, Senator Boxer for up to 15 minutes, 
Senator Leahy; provided, that Senator Kyl be also recognized prior to 
adjournment.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. ALLARD. I yield the floor.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Iowa is recognized.
  Mr. HARKIN. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that Senator 
Leahy, because of his time schedule, speak prior to my statement, and I 
still be allowed my 15 minutes and Senator Boxer still be allowed her 
15 minutes.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  The Senator from Vermont.
  Mr. LEAHY. Mr. President, I thank the Senator from Iowa for his 
courtesy. I apologize to the Senator from Colorado. I was distracted 
when he was giving the order to put us out. I should have realized, 
after 31 years here, when we are on autopilot. And, of course, the 
Senator was following precisely the agreement as usually somebody does 
in wrapup that has been worked out between the Democratic leader and 
the Republican leader and was totally within his rights. I apologize 
for interrupting.
  Mr. ALLARD. I thank the Senator from Vermont for speaking up. We 
certainly did not want to shortchange on his right to speak. I was glad 
to see when we got to the last part of the iteration we had the Senator 
from Vermont included.
  Mr. LEAHY. Mr. President, the distinguished Senator has always been 
protective of the rights of Members of both sides.
