over the next 20 minutes or so, we will be wrapping up what has been a very busy but very productive week, moving to a period which will begin with the celebration of this weekend, in the sense that a lot of people will be with families back at home, back with their constituents, back in their communities, but we will move very quickly to our Memorial Day recess. I will have a few statements to make, a few words to say on what will be going on, on Monday. We have had a very successful week in the sense that we have completed another nomination thus far. We will have a few more in a little bit that we have agreed to on both sides. We have completed an immigration bill that we worked on for about a month--initially, for 2 weeks, then a pause, and then for the last 2 weeks--a bill that, as I said yesterday, does reflect the will of this body.

But it is comprehensive legislation that demonstrates that we are governing, addressing the very real problems, real challenges that face us in America today. ____________________
