  Mr. REID. The Senate is considering the nomination of Andrew Hurwitz 
of Arizona to be a United States circuit judge for the ninth circuit 
postcloture. There is every expectation that time will be yielded back 
and the confirmation will take place soon.
  The Senate will recess from 12:30 to 2:15 to allow for our weekly 
caucus meetings.
  Senator Stabenow and Senator Roberts are working on an agreement for 
amendments on the farm bill and we will notify Senators if an agreement 
is reached.

     1986 to repeal the excise tax on medical devices.

  Mr. REID. I now object to proceeding further on this matter at this 
time.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Objection having been heard, the 
bill will be placed on the calendar.
