                                PROGRAM

  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, today, we confirmed Brett Kavanaugh to the 
DC Circuit, we confirmed General Hayden as CIA Director, and we 
confirmed a former colleague, Dirk Kempthorne, as Secretary of the 
Interior. In addition, we were able to confirm several nominations by 
unanimous consent.
  We have had a productive stretch in the last few weeks that we have 
been in session. Yesterday, we did pass the comprehensive immigration 
reform bill after a total of 4 weeks of good debate. Again, I 
congratulate the managers of the bill for their dedicated work in 
moving the bill along for passage. I congratulate Senators McCain and 
Kennedy, Senators Martinez and Hagel, and the entire Judiciary 
Committee which generated the bill, and all of my colleagues for their 
participation and active debate with amendments.
  When we return from the Memorial Day recess, we will continue on the 
motion to proceed to the marriage protection amendment. The first vote 
of the week will occur in the morning on Tuesday, June 6. That vote 
will be on a district judge nomination.
  As we head in into the Memorial Day recess, we honor all who have 
died serving our great Nation.
