S6014 CONGRESSIONAL RECORD — SENATE August 2, 2012 

House, shall notify the Members of the Senate and House, respectively, to reassemble at 

such place and time as they may designate 

if, in their opinion, the public interest shall 

warrant it. 

f 

MEASURE READ THE FIRST 

TIME—S. 3519 

Mr. REID. Mr. President, I understand there is a bill at the desk, and I 

ask for its first reading. 

The PRESIDING OFFICER. The 

clerk will report the bill by title for 

the first time. 

The assistant legislative clerk read 

as follows: 

A bill (S. 3519) to require sponsoring Senators to pay the printing cost of ceremonial 

and commemorative Senate resolutions. 

Mr. REID. I now ask for a second 

reading, but in order to place the bill 

on the calendar under the provisions of 

rule XIV, I object to my own request. 

The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard. The legislation will be 

read for the second time on the next 

legislative day. 

f 

APPOINTMENTS AUTHORITY 

Mr. REID. I ask unanimous consent 

that notwithstanding the upcoming recess or adjournment of the Senate, the 

President of the Senate, the President 

pro tempore, and the majority and minority leaders be authorized to make 

appointments to commissions, committees, boards, conferences, or interparliamentary conferences authorized 

by law, by concurrent action of the two 

Houses, or by order of the Senate. 

The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without 

objection, it is so ordered. 

f 

AUTHORITY FOR COMMITTEES TO 

REPORT 

Mr. REID. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that notwithstanding 

the Senate’s recess, committees be authorized to report legislative and executive matters on Tuesday, August 28, 

from 12 noon to 2 p.m. 

The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without 

objection, it is so ordered. 

f 

SIGNING AUTHORITY 

Mr. REID. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that from Thursday, August 2, to Monday, September 10, the 

majority leader and Senators WEBB, 

REED of Rhode Island, CONRAD, and 

CARDIN be authorized to sign duly enrolled bills or joint resolutions. 

The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without 

objection, it is so ordered. 

f 

TRIBUTE TO ASHLEY MESSICK 

Mr. REID. Mr. President, I wish to 

take a minute and express my appreciation—and I speak for all Senators— 

to Ashley Messick, who sits right here 

in front of us and has for 7 years. Honestly, it seems she just came yesterday. I really mean that. She has added 

a lot of vibrancy to this body, she is always pleasant, and she has always been 

available to me, even though she sits 

on the Republican side, and to everyone else. 

So I am happy for her in one way: 

She is leaving because she fell in love 

and is getting married, and I am very 

happy for her. But we are really a 

small group of people at this front desk 

who do so much to make this place run 

properly. And even though she has been 

here 7 years, this is something I am 

confident will be with her the rest of 

her life. I am grateful to her for her attitude and her professionalism, and I 

wish her the very best. 

f 

ACKNOWLEDGING THE SENATE 

PAGES 

Mr. REID. Mr. President, we have 

had a wonderful group of summer 

pages. I am so glad we have these 

young men and women. As I have said 

a number of times and I repeat tonight, 

two of my grandchildren have been 

pages. It was a wonderful, life-altering 

experience for them. I now have had 

another—my grandson—as one of the 

summer pages, and he has had a great 

time. So I am glad we have the page 

program. They are helpful to us, and I 

wish them the very best. I hope their 

experiences are as good as my three 

grandchildrens’ experiences. 

f 

ORDERS FOR FRIDAY, AUGUST 3, 

2012, THROUGH MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 2012 

Mr. REID. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that when the Senate 

completes its business today, it adjourn and convene for pro forma sessions only, with no business conducted,

that following each pro forma session, 

the Senate adjourn until the next pro

Res. 59; that following the prayer and

speak for up to 10 minutes each; and 

that at 5 p.m. the Senate proceed to executive session under the previous 

order. 

The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without 

objection, it is so ordered. 

f 

PROGRAM 

Mr. REID. Mr. President, if pro forma 

sessions are necessary—and it appears 

they are; the House turned down the 

adjournment resolution—Senators 

should be aware that starting Tuesday, 

August 7, the pro forma sessions will be 

held in Hart 216 while repairs are made 

in the Senate Chamber. 

The next rollcall vote will be at 5:30 

p.m. on Monday, September 10, on confirmation of the Rose nomination. 

Additionally, this evening cloture 

was filed on the motion to proceed to

That vote will be at 2:15 p.m. on Tuesday, September 11. 

f 

ADJOURNMENT UNTIL 10:15 A.M. 

TOMORROW 

Mr. REID. If there is no further business to come before the Senate, I ask 

unanimous consent it adjourn under 

the previous order. 

The PRESIDING OFFICER. Under 

the previous order, the Senate stands 

adjourned until 10:15 a.m. tomorrow, 

unless the Senate receives a message 

from the House that it has adopted S. 

Con. Res. 59, in which case the Senate 

stands adjourned until 2 p.m. on Monday, September 10, 2012, under the provisions of S. Con. Res. 59. 

Thereupon, the Senate, at 8:31 p.m.,
