                             THANKING STAFF

  Mr. WARNER. Mr. President, there is one matter remaining. I want to 
thank all of those who have been working very hard on the Defense 
authorization bill. I am not just speaking of the Senators or their 
staffs but all of those who make it possible for this venerable and 
great institution to work. Long hours are expended here. This Chamber 
remains open, and while there are not many people to be seen, there are 
many people around this Chamber working diligently to keep it open. I 
thank them all, and I would assure them that momentarily this final 
matter will be concluded and we will be able to stand in adjournment.
  I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
  The legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. SESSIONS. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent the quorum call 
be dispensed with.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
