Following any leader remarks, there will be a period of morning business until 11:10 this morning, with Senators permitted to speak for up to 10 minutes each, during which Senators may make tributes to the late Senator Ted Stevens. At 11:10 a.m., there will be 20 minutes for debate prior to a rollcall vote on the motion to invoke cloture on the motion to proceed to S. 3816, the Creating American Jobs and Ending Offshoring Act, with the time equally divided and controlled between the two leaders or their designees. At 11:30 a.m., the Senate will proceed to a rollcall vote on the motion to invoke cloture on the motion to proceed to the offshoring bill. If cloture is not invoked, there would be a second vote on the motion to invoke cloture on the motion to proceed to H.R. 3081, the legislative vehicle for the continuing resolution. As a reminder, former Senator Ted Stevens will be laid to rest at Arlington National Cemetery at 1 p.m. today. Buses will depart the Senate steps at 12:15 p.m. today. ____________________
