On the recordJune 5, 2012
We are now on the motion to proceed to the Paycheck Fairness Act. Following my remarks and those of the Republican leader, the time until 12:30 will be equally divided. The majority will control the first 30 minutes and the Republicans will control the second 30 minutes. The Senate will recess from 12:30 until 2:15 p.m. to allow for the weekly caucus meetings. I ask unanimous consent the cloture vote on the motion to invoke cloture on the motion to proceed to S. 3220 occur at 2:30 p.m. and that the time from 2:15 p.m. until 2:30 p.m. be equally divided between the two leaders, with the majority controlling the final half. The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so ordered.
