                    ORDERS FOR TUESDAY, MAY 11, 2004

  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that when the 
Senate completes its business today, it stand in adjournment until 9:45 
a.m. on Tuesday, May 11. I further ask that following the prayer and 
pledge, the morning hour be deemed expired, the Journal of proceedings 
be approved to date, the time for the two leaders be reserved for their 
use later in the day, and the Senate then begin a period of morning 
business for up to 60 minutes, with the first half hour under the 
control of the Democratic leader or his designee, and the second half 
hour under the control of the majority leader or his designee; provided 
that following morning business, the Senate proceed to S. 1637, as 
under the previous order.
  I further ask consent that the Senate recess from 12:30 p.m., or upon 
conclusion of the vote in relation to the Cantwell amendment, until 
2:15 p.m. for the weekly party luncheons.
  Mr. REID. Mr. President, as happens around here a lot of the time, 
the real substance of what we do does not appear out here. What we have 
done is extremely important. We should be able to finish this bill 
tomorrow.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, I appreciate the comments of the assistant 
Democratic leader. We made real progress over the course of the weekend 
and have a real understanding of how we will finish the bill in an 
orderly way. We will be working jointly to see, with the managers of 
the bill, it is finished tomorrow if at all possible.
