SCHEDULE
Mr. REID. Following leader remarks, the Senate will be in a period of
morning business for 1 hour. The majority will control the first half,
the Republicans the second half. Following morning business, the Senate
will resume consideration of the surface transportation bill.
Mr. President, we are doing our utmost to work through the matters we
still have to do in the Senate. We have pending now a cloture motion on
the surface transportation bill. That time will ripen tomorrow morning
an hour after we come in. Following that, there is a vote on a person
from New York who desires to be a Federal judge.
We will notify all Members when the conference report is scheduled in
the House, and we will do it over here as quickly as we can. We are
going to see if things can be expedited, but it appears that we will be
in at least for tomorrow. I hope we don't have to be in longer than
that, but it all depends on when the House completes the work on the
conference report. That is not scheduled yet.
