              ITEMS TO ACCOMPLISH BEFORE THE JULY 4 RECESS

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I look forward to this period of time prior 
to the July 4 recess, as does the entire minority. We are hopeful we 
can make progress on the appropriations bills, which certainly need to 
be accomplished. Also, I hope there will be an opportunity to do 
something about the Patients' Bill of Rights, prescription drugs; that 
we can complete work on the minimum wage, and the juvenile justice 
bill.
  A number of these matters have been languishing, waiting for the 
conference committees to act. We have all had our time at home, and we 
are ready to go. We hope we can move forward, I repeat, with the 
appropriations bills and these matters I have outlined.
