Madam President, following any leader remarks, there will be a period of morning business. Senators will be allowed to speak for up to 10 minutes each. That will be until 12:30 p.m. today. The time will be equally divided and controlled between the two leaders or their designees. The majority will control the first 30 minutes, the Republicans will control the next 30 minutes. The Senate will recess from 12:30 p.m. to 2:15 p.m. for our weekly caucus meetings. At 2:15 p.m., Carte Goodwin of West Virginia will be sworn in as Senator from West Virginia to replace Senator Byrd. Then, at 2:30 p.m., there will be a cloture vote with respect to H.R. 4213, legislation extending unemployment insurance benefits. ____________________
