we have a lot to do in the next week and a half. DOD authorization, as the Democrat leader and as my colleagues know, is a high priority. We also are doing our very best to come to an agreement on how to bring stem cells to the floor of the Senate, to bring the native Hawaiian issue to the floor of the Senate, and gun liability issues we talked about earlier this morning. We are making progress. We did not quite finish foreign operations today but we will tomorrow. As we complete that bill and we finish with the Dorr nomination, we will hopefully be able to accomplish all of those bills. It is asking a lot. ____________________
