Mr. President, following leader remarks the Senate will be in morning business until 5:30 p.m. Today at 5:30 p.m. the Senate will resume consideration of S. 743, the Marketplace Fairness Act. There will be two rollcall votes in order to complete action on that bill. The filing deadline for all second- degree amendments to S. 743 is 4 p.m. today. I have been told, and staff has indicated to me, that we believe there will be an agreement that we will not have to have the vote this evening on the water resources bill; that we can just move to it sometime tomorrow. Otherwise, if we can't work that out, there will be a third rollcall vote on the motion to invoke cloture on the motion to proceed to the Water Resources Development Act. ____________________
