                     Shark Conservation Act of 2009

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, as in legislative session and in morning 
business, I ask unanimous consent that the Committee on Commerce be 
discharged from further consideration of H.R. 81 and that the Senate 
proceed to its immediate consideration.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  The clerk will report the bill by title.
  The assistant legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (H.R. 81) to amend the High Seas Driftnet Fishing 
     Moratorium Protection Act and the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery 
     Conservation and Management Act to improve the conservation 
     of sharks.

  There being no objection, the Senate proceeded to consider the bill.
  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the Kerry-Snowe 
amendment at the desk be agreed to, the bill, as amended, be read a 
third time and passed, the motion to reconsider be laid upon the table, 
and that any statements relating to this bill be printed in the Record.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  The amendment (No. 4914) was agreed to.
  (The amendment is printed in today's Record under ``Text of 
Amendments.'')
  The amendment was ordered to be engrossed and the bill to be read a 
third time.
  The bill (H.R. 81), as amended, was read the third time and passed.
  Mr. REID. Mr. President, it is my understanding that, the hour of 
1:30 having arrived or shortly will arrive, we will recess pending the 
call of the Chair, is that right, until the closed session is 
completed?
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator is correct.
