                           ORDER OF BUSINESS

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I had a conversation with the Republican 
leader on Monday, and we went over the things we have to do this work 
period. We have a lot to do. One of the things we are trying to do--
because we have so much going on around the country; namely, in our 
States--is we want to try to balance what we do and, frankly, we have 
some people running for office. But we have made great progress this 
week so far. We have been able to reach agreement on a number of things 
that we believe are important.
  So having said that--and I have gone over what we are going to do in 
the next few days--I think it would be appropriate to announce to 
everyone that we are going to not have any votes on Monday. We have 
work we are going to have to do here Monday, but we are not going to 
have any votes. I think it is important Senators know that. We were 
planning on having a number of votes on Monday. I think that is not 
necessary now.
