  Mr. REID. Madam President, I ask unanimous consent that 
notwithstanding the 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 authorized by
