                   Recognition of the Minority Leader

  The PRESIDENT pro tempore. The minority leader is recognized.


                     moving The Legislative Agenda

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, Andrew von Eschenbach is cleared on this 
side, so as far as we are concerned there is no need for a cloture 
vote. We look forward to working with the distinguished majority leader 
today, maybe tomorrow, maybe Saturday, to try to get as much 
cooperation out of Senators as possible. I know the finance folks have 
worked long and hard to try to come up with something that is very 
important for the country. We will continue to monitor that and do 
everything we can as we try to move this legislative agenda forward.
