  Mr. REID. I ask unanimous consent that notwithstanding the recess or 
adjournment of the Senate, the President of the Senate, the President 
of the Senate 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
