                              WELCOME BACK

  Mr. McCONNELL. I wanted to briefly welcome everyone back from the 
Lincoln recess. People had a constructive period of time to interact 
with their constituents or to do other important business.
  Listening carefully to what the majority leader had to say in terms 
of the way forward, I will be happy to continue to work with him to 
move us in the direction he wishes to take us in terms of the 
scheduling of the Senate over the next week or 10 days.
  Madam President, we are now cleared to do the consent agreement.
  Mr. REID. I appreciate that very much.
