                           ORDER OF BUSINESS

  Mr. REID. Madam President, let me announce now, we had an all-
Senators briefing scheduled for 2:30 tomorrow. We are not going to do 
that. I have just spoken to the President's Chief of Staff. There are 
too many things moving. There are a lot of moving targets here. I think 
it will be better for the Senate if we do not have that briefing 
tomorrow.
  There are a lot of things going on. We have had many briefings. We 
have had committee hearings. But tomorrow I think to have this with 
what is going on--it is my understanding the Secretary of State is 
going to be in Geneva to meet with his Russian counterpart. So there 
are a lot of things going on. I think the briefing tomorrow would be 
very premature with all of the, as I said before, moving targets.
  So everyone should know that the 2:30 all-Senators briefing will not 
occur. So everyone knows the schedule a little bit tomorrow.
