Mr. President, following my remarks and those of Senator McConnell, we will go to a period of morning business until 3 p.m. with Senators permitted to speak during that period of time for up to 10 minutes each. Following morning business, the Senate will resume consideration of the motion to proceed to S. 3217, the Wall Street reform legislation. At 5 o'clock the Senate will proceed to vote on the motion to invoke cloture on the motion to proceed. ____________________
