On the recordDecember 27, 2012
we are going to have two more votes tonight. They will both be 10 minutes in duration in addition to the debate time that has already been established. Then we are going to move in a very direct way to complete as much of the debate time as possible on the amendments on the supplemental. It is extremely important that we get this debate completed tonight so we can start voting in the morning. We have already set up that we will have some votes in the morning. We are going to come in probably about 9:30 and start voting. We have a lot to do. It would really be good if people who have amendments on the supplemental use their debate time tonight. We are going to have no more votes tonight, but tomorrow there will be a limited amount of debate time. Senator Mikulski will be here tonight, Senator Schumer will be here tonight, and Senator Menendez will be here tonight to help move this, in addition, of course, to the managers of the bill on the other side. We hope people will work hard to get debate out of the way tonight so we can vote tomorrow. We have a lot of votes tomorrow. I am led to believe there are a number of amendments the managers of this bill will pass either by voice or some other quick fashion. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Maryland.
