                           ORDER OF BUSINESS

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I have a number of housekeeping matters I 
need to take care of with Senator McConnell. Senators are welcome to 
stay, but I know there are a lot of things going on today--receptions 
and things of that nature. We are not going to have speeches today. We 
will have plenty of time to do that at a subsequent time. I doubt we 
will have any votes. There may be a need for one rollcall vote later 
on. We will see what happens after the House takes action today, but I 
hope that is not the case. So having said that, people are welcome to 
stay or to leave.
