                         Senate Accomplishments

  Mr. SCHUMER. Mr. President, it has been a busy and productive work 
period in the Senate.
  First, the good news is that we have kept the government open. It 
took some work, especially when the Senate rules lend themselves to 
delay and obstruction. Still, I thank Senators Leahy and Shelby, as 
well as Leader McConnell, for helping us get this done. To have allowed 
the government to close would have caused undue hardship for millions 
of blameless Americans.
  We have gotten other things done, too, in this work period.
  We passed forced arbitration reform, made progress to fix our post 
office, and confirmed more of the President's nominees.
