                                PROGRAM

  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, on Monday, June 6, the Senate will return 
from the Memorial Day recess and resume consideration of the nomination 
of Janice Rogers Brown for the DC Circuit. There will be no rollcall 
votes on June 6, but Senators are encouraged to come to the floor that 
day to speak on the Brown nomination.
  As a reminder, cloture was just filed on the Brown nomination and the 
nomination of William Pryor to the Eleventh Circuit. Thus, we will vote 
on the cloture motion with respect to the Brown nomination on Tuesday, 
June 7, at noon.
  Given the agreement reached this week, I expect cloture to be invoked 
and hope that we can proceed to the confirmation vote on Judge Brown 
early Tuesday afternoon. I also would like to remind my colleagues that 
we have time agreements with respect to the nominations of Griffith, 
McKeague, and Griffin to the circuit courts, as well. It is my 
intention to move to these nominations at an early time, as well.
  Finally, since we were unable to finish our work on the Bolton 
nomination to be ambassador to the United Nations, we will revisit this 
issue following the break, as well.
  I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
  The assistant legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for 
the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
