  Mr. REID. Madam President, following any leader remarks, there will

  At 10:40 a.m., the Senate will recess for a joint meeting of Congress 
with the Honorable Julia Gillard, Prime Minister of Australia.
  The Senate will reconvene at 12 noon and proceed to the immediate 
consideration of H.R. 1, the Defense appropriations bill, which is the 
famous CR, H.R. 1, and the Democratic alternative.
  At 3 p.m., Senators should expect two rollcall votes in relation to 
those two matters. Under an agreement reached yesterday, each proposal 
will be subject to a 60-vote threshold.
