            ORDER OF PROCEDURE THROUGH MONDAY, MAY, 7, 2012

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that when the Senate 
completes its business today, it adjourn and convene for pro forma 
sessions only, with no business conducted, on the following dates and 
times and that following each pro forma session, the Senate adjourn 
until the next pro forma session: Monday, April 30, at 10:30 a.m.; 
Thursday, May 3, at 8:30 a.m.; and that the Senate adjourn on Thursday, 
May 3, until 2 p.m. on Monday, May 7, unless the Senate has received a 
message from the House that it has adopted S. Con. Res. 43, which will 
be the adjournment resolution, and if the Senate has received such a 
message, the Senate adjourn until Monday, May 7, at 2 p.m. under the 
provisions of S. Con. Res. 43; that following the prayer and pledge, 
the Journal of proceedings be approved to date, the morning hour be 
deemed expired, and the time for the two leaders be reserved for their 
use later in the day; that the Senate resume consideration of the 
motion to proceed to S. 2343, the Stop Student Loan Interest Rate Hike 
Act; and that at 4:30 p.m. the Senate proceed to executive session 
under the previous order.
  Just so that everyone understands, we have in this the pro forma 
sessions possibility. I am confident the House will adopt our 
adjournment resolution, but just in case they don't, that is why we 
have that in there.
