                        PRIVILEGES OF THE FLOOR

  Mrs. HUTCHISON. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that Jesse 
Boettcher be granted floor privileges. He is currently my military 
fellow.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mrs. HUTCHISON. Mr. President, as Jesse Boettcher is coming to the 
floor--and before I speak--I want to say he has served in the Army 
Special Operations Command for the past 16 years. Jesse, a special 
forces sergeant major, has deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan numerous 
times over the past decade, and he has added tremendously to our 
office's military and overall productivity.
  Mr. MERKLEY. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that my intern, 
Eric Strod, be granted the privilege of the floor through the balance 
of the day.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. HARKIN. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that Samantha 
Wessels, Kelly Mormon, and Carolyn Trager of my staff be granted the 
privilege of the floor for the duration of today's proceedings.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
