the next hour will be equally divided between the two leaders or their designees. The majority will control the first half and the Republicans the final half. As I think we should know, and I am happy to restate it, the next rollcall vote will occur about 1 a.m. this morning, an hour after we come in. I am, of course, hopeful we can work something out in order to complete our work. We can either do it all tonight, tomorrow, or, if that doesn't work out, as the Presiding Officer knows, under the rules of the Senate we will have that vote at 1 a.m., and then we would have another vote on the CR. Final passage of that would be around 7:30, 8 o'clock in the morning on Sunday. Then we would immediately follow to the motion to proceed on the sportsmen's package. We continue to have discussions. We are working to see if we can schedule these votes at a more convenient time for Senators. Everyone should know we would finish by Sunday morning. We are not going to go into next week.
