Mr. President, following any leader remarks, the Senate will be in morning business, with the first hour equally divided, with the Republicans controlling the first 30 minutes and the majority controlling the second 30 minutes. Senator Hoeven will be recognized at noon for up to 25 minutes to deliver his maiden speech to the Senate. We continue to work to complete action on the small business bill. We are hopeful we will be able to vote on a budget by the end of this week. Senators will be notified when votes are scheduled. Mr. President, for Members of my caucus, the 12:30 luncheon we have every Thursday has been postponed until 3 o'clock today. ____________________
