the next vote will be final passage. I congratulate Senators Hutchison and Feinstein for expediting the bill this afternoon. It took the cooperation of all Members and proves that we can move quickly through the appropriations process under the leadership of two managers. As we continue that, we go forward. I also congratulate Senators Bennett and Kohl for their hard work on the Agriculture appropriations bill passed this morning by a vote of 97 to 2. As Members know, the Roberts nomination--again, congratulations to the Judiciary Committee--was reported by the Judiciary Committee today. We will turn to consideration of that nomination on Monday. We will be in session tomorrow. Senators are invited to come to the floor tomorrow, if they would like to make any remarks on that nomination. We will be voting Monday at about 5:30. That will be the next vote. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Democratic leader.
