The Senate adjourned by unanimous consent until 11 a.m. Tuesday, Aug. 12, after a written motion by Sen. Zaffirini asking that the chamber delay resumption pending receipt of committee reports.
The motion was presented in writing and read by the secretary. As recorded in the transcript, Zaffirini said, "I move that the Senate adjourn until 11:00AM, Tuesday, August 12, pending the receipt of committee reports." The presiding officer asked members if there was any objection; hearing and seeing none, the presiding officer declared the Senate adjourned.
The adjournment was taken by unanimous consent; no roll-call vote or second was recorded in the transcript. The motion’s contingency — resuming only after receipt of committee reports — was noted on the record; the transcript does not specify which committee reports or when they are expected.
The proceeding as presented in the transcript consisted of the written motion, the secretary reading the motion, the presiding officer’s call for objections, and the adjournment. No further debate, amendments, committee names, or scheduling details were provided in the available record.
