I expect that upon the completion of the scheduled votes, the motion to proceed to the sportsmen's bill will be pending, postcloture. I am gratified that we are on track to attempt to move this measure when we get back. After we address that bill, when we return in November, I intend to move to Senator Menendez's housing bill. But I will be in touch with the Republican leader several times before the election, I am sure, anyway. Mr. President, before we leave here, everyone should understand that what we are going to try to do this evening--I have spoken with the Republican leader--is that when people finish their talking--we hope it can be early this evening--we would go into recess--and hopefully we can do that at 5 or 6 o'clock tonight--until 11:30 tonight. I hope that can be done. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Kentucky. S.J. Res. 41
