Harry Reid said "Mr. President, following leader remarks, the Senate will proceed to a period of morning business until noon. Senators will be allowed to speak for 10 minutes each during that period. The majority will control the first 30 minutes and Republicans will control the next 30 minutes. We are working hard to come to agreement on amendments dealing with the small business jobs bill. I had a conversation with the Republican leader last night. We are hopeful we can reach agreement to move forward on that legislation today. We have to have consent to move off Wall Street reform, but I think that will not be a problem. As a reminder, yesterday I filed cloture on the conference report to accompany H.R. 4173. That cloture vote will occur sometime tomorrow morning. I will work with the Republican leader to come up with a time that is convenient to both sides. ___________________
