SCHEDULE
Mr. REID. Mr. President, following leader remarks, the Senate will
resume consideration of the House message with respect to H.R. 4853,
the vehicle for the tax agreement, with the time until 3 p.m. equally
divided and controlled between the two leaders or their designees. At 3
p.m. the Senate will proceed to a rollcall vote on the motion to invoke
cloture on the motion to concur in the House amendment to the Senate
amendment to H.R. 4853, with the Reid-McConnell amendment. The cloture
vote will be held open until--we will close it as quickly as we can.
There is bad weather around the country. I just got a call from a
Senator who is stuck in Minneapolis. But we will close it as early as
we can. We started it earlier than normal because some people had to go
places, but we will be as deliberate as we can in making sure people
have the opportunity to vote.
