On the recordMay 26, 2006

I know Senator Nelson will have 2 minutes of remarks to make; 30 seconds for me. The next vote will be our last. We anticipate a voice vote on the confirmation of Dirk Kempthorne after cloture is invoked. We are working on agreement for when we return. I expect the next votes to occur on the morning of Tuesday, June 6. 100 Hours of Service as Presiding Officer Two quick congratulations: On behalf of the entire Senate, I congratulate two Senators for their presiding service. Earlier this week, Senator Vitter reached the 100-hour mark and will receive the Golden Gavel Award; and later this morning, Senator Isakson will get his 100th hour of service. We thank them both for their efforts in the Chair. (Applause, Members rising.) ____________________
