Floor Statements

Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that when the Senate completes its business today, it stand in adjournment until 10 a.m. Tuesday, February 3; that following the prayer and the pledge the Journal of proceedings be approved to date, the morning hour be deemed expired, the time for the two leaders be reserved for their use later in the day, and the Senate then resume consideration of H.R. 1, the Economic Recovery and Reinvestment Act; further, that the Senate stand in recess from 12:30 p.m. to 2:15 p.m. to allow for the weekly caucus luncheons.

Mr. President, Senators should be prepared for a long day tomorrow, with votes on numerous amendments throughout the day.

If there is no further business to come before the Senate, I ask unanimous consent that it stand adjourned under the previous order.

Thank you very much.

Mr. President, one of the really great things about this job is I am going to be able to achieve one of his great objectives; that is, to be the senior Senator from Delaware. I thank you for your remarks; they are gracious as usual.
