                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, following leader remarks, the Senate will be 
in a period of morning business until 10:30 this morning. The majority 
will control the first half, the Republicans the final half. At 10:30 
the Senate will recess for an hour to allow for a Senators-only 
briefing. When the Senate reconvenes, we will resume consideration of 
the Marketplace Fairness Act. Yesterday I filed cloture on this 
legislation. As a result the filing deadline for all first-degree 
amendments is 1 p.m. today. Unless an agreement is reached, Senators 
should expect a cloture vote on Friday morning.
  That was a wonderful prayer. I appreciated it very much.
  I would now yield to my friend, the senior Senator from 
Massachusetts.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The Senator from Massachusetts.
