                   ORDERS FOR THURSDAY, JULY 16, 2009

  Mr. BROWN. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that when the 
Senate completes its business today, it adjourn until 9:30 a.m., 
Thursday, July 16; that following the prayer and pledge, the Journal of 
proceedings be approved to date, the morning hour be deemed expired, 
the time for the two leaders be reserved for their use later in the 
day, and there be a period of morning business for 1 hour, with the 
time equally divided and controlled between the two leaders or their 
designees, with the Republicans controlling the first half and the 
majority controlling the second half, and with Senators permitted to 
speak for up to 10 minutes each; further, I ask that following morning 
business, the Senate resume consideration of Calendar No. 89, S. 1390, 
the Department of Defense authorization bill; and, finally, I ask that 
the mandatory quorum under rule XXII be waived.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
