At 3 p.m., the Senate will resume the motion to proceed to H.R. 4851. The Republican leader will control the time between 5 p.m. and 5:15 p.m. and the majority leader will control the time from 5:15 p.m. until 5:30 p.m. At 5:30 p.m., the Senate will proceed to a rollcall vote on the motion to invoke cloture on the motion to proceed to H.R. 4851. That will be the first vote of the day. At 3:30 p.m., we will interrupt debate for a moment of silence to honor the coal miners killed in last week's explosion at Upper Big Branch Mine in West Virginia. ____________________
