throughout the day.
  The Senate may also begin consideration of the conference report to 
accompany the Department of Defense appropriations bill during this 
evening's session.
  I thank my colleagues for their attention.
  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I suggest the absence of a quorum.

  The bill clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. HARKIN. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for

ordered.
