                          MAXIMUM COOPERATION

  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, let me say to my good friend the 
majority leader that he can expect a high level of cooperation from 
this side on moving forward on the extenders package, as we have 
essentially reached an agreement, which has basically been drafted. We 
will be working on a way to go forward, procedurally, on that measure 
at the earliest possible time. He will also get maximum cooperation 
from us on a variety of different matters he would like to consider 
prior to next week. So we will stay in constant communication and try 
to see what we can accomplish on a bipartisan basis in the rather small 
amount of time we have remaining.
