                                PROGRAM

  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, for the information of all Senators, the 
next vote will occur at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, September 7. There will 
be at least two votes on district judges and a third judge is expected 
to be confirmed by voice vote.
  We have a number of issues remaining when we return from the August 
break. In addition to the executive nominations, we must continue the 
appropriations process.
  In addition, the Judiciary Committee reported a constitutional 
amendment regarding flag desecration, and we will want to debate that 
measure.
  Having said that, there will be much work to do and there will be 
very little time to do it.
  I wish everyone a safe and happy recess. I hope everyone has time 
over the next several weeks to recharge their batteries, for it will be 
a busy fall legislative period.
  I thank everyone for their efforts and hard work throughout this 
time.
  Mr. REID. Mr. President, will the distinguished majority leader allow 
me to call a quorum?
  I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
  The legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for 
the quorum call be dispensed with.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
