                                 RECESS

  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Under the previous order, the Senate stands in 
recess until 5:30 p.m.
  Thereupon, the Senate, at 4:03 p.m., recessed until 5:34 p.m. and 
reassembled when called to order by the Presiding Officer (Mr. Nelson 
of Florida).
  Mr. DURBIN. Mr. President, it is my understanding the leaders are 
discussing the schedule for the rest of the day. Members are certainly 
welcome to come to the floor if they want to make statements in morning 
business. But in the meantime, I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
  The legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Ms. LANDRIEU. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order 
for the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
