                                PROGRAM

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, on that date; that is, Monday, September 13, 
the filing deadline on the small business jobs bill would be at 3 p.m. 
that day, all first-degree amendments, and we, on Tuesday, would 
convene at 10 o'clock a.m.


                           Order of Procedure

  I ask unanimous consent that the cloture vote on the Johanns 
amendment vote occur at 11 o'clock a.m. on Tuesday, September 14.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. REID. Mr. President, we will have the judge vote on Monday when 
we come back; we will have the filing deadline that afternoon at 3 
o'clock on the small business jobs bill; that Tuesday we will come in 
immediately and have no more business, and begin debate on that matter, 
the small business matter; and the first vote that day would be the 
cloture vote on the Johanns amendment.
  Mr. President, first of all, I express my appreciation to the 
Presiding Officer. We appreciate his being here. This has been a long 
day. And for those who may not know this, next Tuesday the Presiding 
Officer's wife is going to have their baby, and she is anxious for him 
to get home. I am sorry it took so long for us to finish today.
  I appreciate, as I always do, the extremely fine work of all of the 
staff. We are here and we talk, and people on C-SPAN see us. But we are 
instruments of our staff. They work very hard to make sure that 
everything works out very well. I am very proud of the staff, Democrats 
and Republicans. They work so well together. They set an example for 
the rest of the Senate, frankly. So I appreciate all of their good 
work.
