SENATOR DAVID DEWHURST: Members, senators, if you don't mind, ladies and gentlemen, we've been in recess. This is an abbreviated session just explain to you -- you may be saying to yourself, what in the world are they doing? We were in session until 12:30 yesterday morning. It took us from 3:15 Tuesday afternoon to 12:30 in the morning to pass a bill; and so, I let the senators off yesterday. I'm David Dewhurst, that's Senator Jackson, Senator Duncan; and so, we stood in recess to receive bills and to refer bills and so we're going to do that. So, it's a short session and we're going to adjourn but normally if you'd been here Tuesday afternoon, you would have seen lots of fire works and it would have -- you could have stayed until 12:30 in the evening, isn't that right? So, we'll be in just for a couple of minutes but thank you for coming to the State Capitol and thank you for being supportive of our fine senators. Any other matter before the president's desk is clear? Any other matter? Chair recognizes Senator Jackson for a highly privileged motion.

SENATOR MIKE JACKSON: Thank you, Mr. President. I move that the Senate adjourn until 1:30 p.m. Monday, June 20th, pending the reading and referral of bills, the receipt of messages, and the receipt of committee reports.

SENATOR DAVID DEWHURST: Thank you, Senator Jackson. Members, you heard the motion by Senator Jackson. Is there objection from any member? The chair hears no objection and the Senate will stand adjourned until 1:30 Monday, June the 20th, pending the reading and -- hold on one second. Hold just a moment. I may want to talk to you about that number. The chair hears no objection permitting -- permitting member and the Senate will stand adjourned until 1:30, Monday, June 20th, pending the reading and referral of bill, the receipt of messages, and the receipt of committee reports. Thank you, Senator Jackson. Thank you, Senator Duncan.
