SCHEDULE
Mr. REID. Mr. President, following leader remarks, the Senate will be
in a period of morning business, with Senators permitted to speak for
up to 10 minutes each. There will be no votes today. The next vote will
be on Monday, September 19, at 5:30 p.m.
We believe we will begin consideration of the trade adjustment
assistance bill on Monday. We are working on procedures to get to that
today.
We have a lot to do. Next Friday, we have to have a continuing
resolution passed in this body. We had a good week this week. We were
able to get the highway bill extended for 6 months, the Federal
Aviation Administration for 4 months, and, of course, we were able to
have that significant vote on FEMA legislation so vitally important to
our entire country. It is interesting to note that the President has
had emergency declarations of disasters in 48 States. The Presiding
Officer's is one of those that did not have one, as well as the State
of Michigan.
