     concurring), That when the House adjourns on the legislative 
     day of Thursday, November 15, 2007, or Friday, November 16, 
     2007, on a motion offered pursuant to this concurrent 
     resolution by its Majority Leader or his designee, it stand 
     adjourned until 2 p.m. on Tuesday, December 4, 2007, or until 
     the time of any reassembly pursuant to section 2 of this 
     concurrent resolution, whichever occurs first; and that when 
     the Senate recesses or adjourns on any day from Thursday, 
     November 15, 2007, through Thursday, November 29, 2007, on a 
     motion offered pursuant to this concurrent resolution by its 
     Majority Leader or his designee, it stand recessed or 
     adjourned until noon on Monday, December 3, 2007, or such 
     other time on that day as may be specified by its Majority 
     Leader or his designee in the motion to recess or adjourn, or

     this concurrent resolution, whichever occurs first.
       Sec 2. The Speaker of the House and the Majority Leader of 
     the Senate, or their respect designees, acting jointly after 
     consultation with the Minority Leader of the House and the 
     Minority Leader of the Senate, shall notify the Members of 
     the House and the Senate, respectively, to reassemble at such 
     place and time as they may designate if, in their opinion, 
     the public interest shall warrant it.
