               APPROPRIATIONS AND TAX RELIEF NEGOTIATIONS

  Mr. McCONNELL. Madam President, Members and staff from both parties 
are continuing their work on appropriations and on the tax relief 
measure. As we all know, they have made a lot of progress in recent 
days. I want to thank all who have been involved in this effort as it 
continues. We will continue to consult and engage with colleagues as we 
make further progress on these last two significant items we must 
complete this year.
