  Mr. KYL. Mr. President, for the benefit of all Members, I would like 
to announce that there will be a period of morning business today until 
2 p.m. Following morning business, the motion to proceed to the 
Internet tax bill will be the pending business. Members are encouraged 
to come to the floor to discuss the important issue of Internet tax.

consideration of the so-called Vacancies Act for debate only until 5:30 
p.m. Following that debate, the Senate will proceed to a cloture vote

will occur at 5:30 p.m. Following that vote, the Senate may consider 
any other legislative or executive items cleared for action. Members 
are reminded that second-degree amendments to the vacancies bill must 
be filed by 4:30 p.m. today.
  Mr. President, I now ask unanimous consent that Senators Feinstein
