Madam President, following leader remarks, the Senate will resume consideration of the conference report to accompany H.R. 4173, which is the Wall Street reform legislation. At about 11 a.m. this morning, the Senate will proceed to a rollcall vote on the motion to invoke cloture on that conference report. If cloture is invoked, we would like to yield back some of the postcloture debate time so we may complete action on the Wall Street reform legislation today. There could be additional rollcall votes this afternoon. For the benefit of Senators, I have spoken to the two Republican leaders. We still have some hope of being able to set up votes on the small business jobs bill. I hope we can do that; otherwise, we will have to proceed to a cloture vote on that sometime next week. ____________________
