  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that 
notwithstanding the upcoming recess or adjournment of the Senate, the 
President of the Senate, the President pro tempore, and the majority 
and minority leaders be authorized to make appointments to commissions, 
committees, boards, conferences, or interparliamentary conferences
