                         WORK BEFORE THE SENATE

  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, the Senate has a number of issues to 
wrap up, including the conference reports on the Water Resources 
Development Act, the Energy Policy Modernization Act, and, of course, 
the National Defense Authorization Act as well.
  The action taken by the Senate yesterday will allow us to have a 
final vote on the critical Iran Sanctions Extension Act sometime this 
week. Later today, the House is set to vote on the 21st Century Cures 
bill, an important medical research and innovation bill which contains 
a number of bipartisan priorities.
  Once their work is complete, the Senate will consider this measure 
and send it to the President's desk. Talks on the continuing resolution 
are ongoing. I will have more to say about that in the coming days.
