                     AUTHORITY TO MAKE APPOINTMENTS

  Mr. FRIST. I ask unanimous consent that notwithstanding the upcoming 
recess or adjournment of the Senate, the President of the Senate, the 
President pro tempore, and the majority and minority leaders be 
authorized to make appointments to commissions, committees, boards, 
conferences, or interparliamentary conferences authorized by law by 
concurrent action of the two Houses or by order of the Senate.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
