          CONTINUING EXTENSION ACT OF 2010--MOTION TO PROCEED


                             Cloture Motion

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I move to proceed to Calendar No. 323, H.R. 
4851, and I send a cloture motion to the desk.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The cloture motion having been presented under 
rule XXII, the Chair directs the clerk to read the motion.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

                             Cloture Motion

       We, the undersigned Senators, in accordance with the 
     provisions of rule XXII of the Standing Rules of the Senate, 
     hereby move to bring to a close debate on the motion to 
     proceed to Calendar No. 323, H.R. 4851, an act to provide a 
     temporary extension of certain programs, and for other 
     purposes.
         Harry Reid, Richard Durbin, Patty Murray, Patrick J. 
           Leahy, Jack Reed, Christopher J. Dodd, Mark Udall, 
           Debbie Stabenow, Amy Klobuchar, Sheldon Whitehouse, Max 
           Baucus, Dianne Feinstein, Kirsten E. Gillibrand, Kent 
           Conrad, Byron L. Dorgan, John D. Rockefeller, IV, Jeff 
           Bingaman, Robert Menendez.

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I am soon going to call up an adjournment 
resolution. But there has always been a misunderstanding as to what an 
adjournment resolution is. The mere fact we are going to adopt an 
adjournment resolution tonight does not mean we are going to run to the 
airports tonight. We have, under this adjournment resolution, the 
ability to work past tonight, and we are going to do that. We are going 
to be in a period of morning business tomorrow from 9:30 to 12:30. We 
are going to be talking about the unemployment compensation extension. 
That time is going to be equally divided. There is going to be some 
time spent tonight after this adjournment resolution is adopted, until 
about 9 or 9:30, talking about unemployment compensation.
  So I want everyone to understand, the fact that this adjournment 
resolution is adopted does not mean we are all leaving here tonight. In 
fact, we have until Wednesday under the adjournment resolution.

                          ____________________
