                       Business Before the Senate

  Mr. President, now on another matter, Senate business, as Senators 
continue to finalize the text of the bipartisan infrastructure 
agreement, the Senate will process several nominations to the executive 
branch. Today, we will confirm Todd Kim to serve as the Assistant 
Attorney General in charge of the Environment and Natural Resources 
Division of the Justice Department, and, tomorrow, the Senate will vote 
on two nominees to the National Labor Relations Board, who I know will 
defend the rights and help deal with the rights of working people, so 
much needed today when there has been such an assault on labor and on 
working people in America.
  Now, the votes of these nominees will in no way interfere with my 
ability to reconsider the vote on the motion to proceed to a debate on 
infrastructure. We are making good progress on both tracks: the 
bipartisan infrastructure and the budget resolution with reconciliation 
instructions. And, to reiterate, Senators should prepare to work 
through the weekend in order to finish the bipartisan infrastructure 
bill.
