Tomorrow, we will return to session to continue to work on the remaining business before we leave. We will need to come in tomorrow in anticipation of the conference reports which will arrive from the House. I do not believe we will need to have any votes tomorrow evening, but we will alert Members if something arises. If we do not vote Sunday, we would start voting early Monday. We have seven district judges on the calendar. I understand some of those may require votes. Having said that, I thank all Senators for their patience during this period. It has been difficult because of our inability, the impossibility to predict with any element of certainty exactly when we will finish. We are working very hard on bills with the House of Representatives. Once those reports are addressed in the House, they can come here. Until that time, we continue to work to see that will occur in an expeditious way. It is the nature of the business. I am appreciative of everyone's assistance. ____________________
