“Today we will have a period for morning business to permit Senators to make statements. As announced by the majority leader last night, there will be no rollcall votes during today's session. We hope to begin consideration of the highway bill next week. The majority leader will have more to say on that later. Perhaps we will have information on that schedule by the close of business today. As a further reminder, there will be no rollcall votes on Monday, which is April 25. On behalf of the leadership, I thank Senator Cochran for his work on the emergency supplemental appropriations bill, which we passed yesterday by a vote of 99 to 0. We will shortly proceed to a conference in order to produce a final product that will be sent to the President. I thank everyone for their attention this morning, and I yield the floor. ____________________”
