                         PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR

  Mr. SCHUMER. Mr. President, first, I would like to request unanimous 
consent to grant floor privileges for the remainder of this Congress 
for Tovah Calderon, a detailee from the Department of Justice, who is 
currently serving on my Judiciary Committee staff.
  Mr. STEVENS. Mr. President, reserving the right to object--for the 
rest of this Congress? Did the Senator say for the remainder of this 
Congress?
  Mr. SCHUMER. I believe she is going to be here for the next year and 
a half. I could ask for the next year.
  Mr. STEVENS. Mr. President, I am obligated to object, and I suggest 
the Senator get clearance on that.
  Mr. SCHUMER. Let me amend my request, with the permission of my 
friend from Alaska, to grant floor privileges for the remainder of this 
session of Congress for Tovah Calderon, a detailee from the Department 
of Justice.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection?
  Mr. STEVENS. Mr. President, may I again inquire of the Senator? Is 
this person on your staff?
  Mr. SCHUMER. Yes. She is a detailee from the Department of Justice. 
We have detailees on the Judiciary Committee.
  Mr. STEVENS. This is floor privileges. It is not necessarily 
continuous access. Does she have to go through the normal process of 
obtaining access the way any other staff would?
  Mr. SCHUMER. Yes. She would have to go through the normal process.
  Mr. STEVENS. I will not object.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
