                   ORDERS FOR MONDAY, MARCH 26, 2007

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that when the Senate 
completes its business today, it stand adjourned until 2:30 p.m. 
Monday, March 26; that on Monday, following the prayer and the pledge, 
the Journal of proceedings be approved to date, the morning hour be 
deemed to have expired; that the time for the two leaders be reserved 
for their use later in the day; that there then be a period of morning 
business until 3 p.m., with Senators permitted to speak therein for up 
to 10 minutes each, with the time equally divided and controlled 
between the two leaders or their designees; that at 3 p.m., the Senate 
proceed to the consideration of H.R. 1591, the supplemental, as 
provided under a previous order.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. REID. Mr. President, if there is no further business today, I 
turn to the Republican leader.
  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, I think we completed the week's 
business. As the majority leader indicated, we will turn to the 
supplemental appropriations bill for the troops in Iraq next Monday, 
and hopefully we will be able to wrap that bill up next week.
  Mr. REID. The distinguished Republican leader and I have talked on a 
number of occasions. We have a divided Government, with a Republican in 
the White House and a Democratic Senate and House. Divided Government 
oftentimes has allowed us to get a lot done. The Republican leader and 
I hope that is the case, and we will continue to try to work with the 
White House and accomplish things. We have been able to do a pretty 
good job the first 3 months. We have a lot more to do. Hopefully, what 
the Republican leader and I have talked about will allow us to get a 
lot more done.
