                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. REID. Madam President, following leader remarks, there will be a 
period of morning business for 1 hour, with Senators able to speak for 
up to 10 minutes each. The Republicans will control the first half, the 
majority the second half.
  Following morning business, the Senate will resume consideration of 
the House message on H.R. 2847, which is the legislative vehicle for 
the jobs bill. Postcloture debate time expires shortly after midnight 
tonight.
  I am hopeful and confident we can work out a reasonable time to vote 
on this; otherwise, we have to do it late tonight or very early in the 
morning.
  Later today, I will ask unanimous consent for a 30-day extension of 
expiring tax provisions, including unemployment insurance, COBRA, flood 
insurance, and a number of other important issues. I hope we can clear 
that request later tonight or this afternoon. Senators, of course, will 
be notified if there are any votes scheduled.
  Again, we have to finish this jobs bill we are on. We are going to 
move, as I explained last night, to the Travel Promotion Act, and then 
we are going to move to the big package I described a little earlier, 
which is so important to do. We will have to do the tax extenders, 
unemployment insurance extension for a reasonable period of time, along 
with COBRA. We are going to take a look at FMAP as something that needs 
to be done. We will discuss that in more detail when we get the 
timelines defined.
  I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The clerk will call the roll.
  The legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. McCONNELL. I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum 
call be rescinded.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so 
ordered.
