  Mr. REID. 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 of the Senate, and the majority and 
minority leaders be authorized to make appointments to commissions, 
committees, boards, conferences, or interparliamentary conferences
