                                PROGRAM

  Mr. WARNER. For the information of all Senators, when the Senate 
reconvenes on Tuesday, September 2, the Senate will begin consideration 
of H.R. 2660, the Labor, HHS, and Education appropriations bill. There 
will be no rollcall votes on Tuesday, but Members are encouraged to 
come to the floor to offer and debate amendments to the bill. Senators 
who wish to offer an amendment should contact the bill managers so they 
can schedule an orderly process for debate. Any votes ordered with 
respect to amendments to the appropriations bill would occur on 
Wednesday, September 3.
  On behalf of the leader, I wish all of my colleagues a safe and 
restful period and, hopefully, one in which they can have an 
opportunity to be with their families. Yet, as always, we enjoy the 
engagement with our constituents and visits to places in our State. So 
this is a well-earned recess for the Senate. We have had a very active 
session. I commend our joint leadership for their leadership. We made 
some history here in the last 48 hours on certain bills passed and 
nominations accepted.
  I see a Senator desiring recognition, but I wonder if I might make 
the following request, with the understanding that the Chair will 
recognize our colleague who has been patiently waiting.
