SCHEDULE
Mr. REID. Mr. President, as the Chair announced, we are going to be
in morning business until 1 p.m. At 1 p.m. the Senate will begin
consideration of the supplemental appropriations bill under the
previous order which calls for amendments to be offered prior to 6 p.m.
Over 40 amendments have been filed. I hope and guess that probably
all of those will not be offered before 6 o'clock. But I would say to
the Chair that I hope Senators will come to the floor and offer those
amendments, debate them, so arrangements can be made as to whether the
managers will accept the amendments or whether a time will be set in
the future for votes. It is the leader's expectation we will finish
this bill tomorrow. There are other appropriations bills we would like
to finish this week also. In fact, the leader has every desire to
finish the Interior appropriations bill and the supplemental bill this
week. We will hear more from the leader at a subsequent time. But these
are the two bills we must finish this week, and if we can finish them
Thursday, that will be fine. I am sure, if we can't, the leader will
want to go into Friday to complete the bills, or if it takes longer
than that. I think they are both capable of being finished very
quickly.
There are no rollcall votes today. There will be no rollcall votes
until 2:15 tomorrow after the party caucuses.
