  Mr. DURBIN. I ask unanimous consent that when the Senate completes 
its business today, it adjourn until 10 a.m., Thursday, December 17; 
that following the prayer and pledge, the Journal of proceedings be 
approved to date, the morning hour be deemed expired, the time for the

the Department of Defense appropriations bill, with Senators permitted 
to speak for up to 10 minutes each; provided further that the first 
hour be equally divided and controlled between the two leaders or their 
designees, with the Republicans controlling the first half and the 
majority controlling the second half.
