  DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY APPROPRIATIONS ACT, 2010--Continued

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I appreciate everyone's cooperation. As I 
have said on a number of occasions, it may not appear that a lot of 
work is being done, but we have committee action taking place, we have 
had a lot of work on health care today, and we have had energy meetings 
today involving six committee chairs.
  We are trying to figure out how we can proceed in the next week. I 
appreciate everyone's patience.
  What is the pending business?
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. H.R. 2892.
  Mr. REID. Is that the Homeland Security appropriations bill?
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Yes.
