                         APPOINTMENT AUTHORITY

  Mr. WARNER. Now, in the category of appointment authority, I ask 
unanimous consent that notwithstanding the recess or adjournment of the 
Senate, the President of the Senate, the Senate's President pro 
tempore, and the majority and minority leaders be authorized to make 
appointments to commissions, committees, boards, conferences, or 
interparliamentary conferences authorized by law, by concurrent action 
of the two Houses, or by order of the Senate.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
