  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that notwithstanding

the President of the Senate, the Senate President pro tempore, and the 
majority and minority leaders be authorized to make appointments to 
commissions, committees, boards, and conferences, or interparliamentary 
conferences authorized by law by concurrent action of the two Houses, 
or by order of the Senate.
  The PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so ordered.
