On the recordNovember 18, 2014
following my remarks and those of the Republican leader, the Senate will proceed to the consideration of S. 2280. There will be 6 hours of debate equally divided between the proponents and opponents of the bill. Senator Boxer will control the opponents' time. Senator Landrieu will control 1 hour of the proponents' time, and Senator Hoeven will control 2 hours. The Senate will recess from 12:30 p.m. until 2:15 p.m. to allow for our weekly caucus meetings. At about 6:15 p.m.--give or take a few minutes--this evening the Senate will vote on a bill to approve the Keystone Pipeline. There will be three rollcall votes on confirmation of the Abrams, Cohen, and Ross nominations, followed by the confirmation of five Ambassadors, which are expected by voice vote. There will be 30 minutes of debate prior to a cloture vote on the motion to proceed to the USA Freedom Act. ____________________
