appropriations bill, which contains the Commerce-Justice-State 
appropriations language. A short time agreement on the conference 
report is anticipated with a vote on adoption to occur today.
  A vote on the continuing resolution will also be necessary prior to 
today's adjournment. Therefore, Senators can expect up to four votes 
during this afternoon's session of the Senate.
  I thank my colleagues for their attention.
  The PRESIDENT pro tempore. The Senator from Nevada is recognized.
  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I say through the Chair to my friend from 
Oklahoma, it would seem, based upon the complexity of the tax bill and 
the difficult problems that we have with the Commerce-State-Justice 
bill, that this debate is not going to take place in a couple of hours. 
I think it is going to take a long time. I have to give some assurance 
to the people on our side of the aisle that I would say it is going to 
be a long day. I very seriously doubt there will be votes early this 
day.
  I suggest to my friends on the minority side, and I think it should 
have some resonance on the majority side, it is very likely we will be 
doing things here tomorrow. Remember, we have, among other things, a 
24-hour CR and we have some of the most important measures we have had 
to deal with this entire Congress; that is, this $250 billion tax bill, 
plus Commerce-State-Justice, which is about $40 billion. A vast 
majority of the issues have not been debated on the Senate floor. These 
are ``first impression'' for most of us. So I think we are going to 
have to talk about them to some degree.
