                                 RECESS

  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Under the previous order, the Senate stands in 
recess until 12 noon.
  Thereupon, the Senate, at 10:28 a.m., took a recess, and the Senate, 
preceded by the Secretary of the Senate, Emily Reynolds, and the Deputy 
Sergeant at Arms, Lynne Halbrooks, proceeded to the Hall of the House 
of Representatives to hear the address by the Prime Minister of Israel, 
Ehud Olmert.
  (The address delivered to the joint session of the two Houses of 
Congress is printed in the Proceedings of the House of Representatives 
in today's Record.)
  At 12 noon, the Senate reassembled and was called to order by the 
Presiding Officer (Mr. Coburn.)
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. In my capacity as a Senator from Oklahoma, I 
suggest the absence of a quorum. The clerk will call the roll.
  The assistant legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. KENNEDY. Madam President, I ask unanimous consent that the order 
for the quorum call be dispensed with.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER (Ms. Murkowski). Without objection, it is so 
ordered.
