On the recordDecember 13, 2012
I ask unanimous consent that when the Senate completes its business today, it adjourn until 2 p.m. on Monday, December 17, 2012; that following the prayer and pledge, the Journal of proceedings be approved to date, the morning hour be deemed expired, and the time for the two leaders be reserved for their use later in the day; that following morning business, the Senate be in a period of morning business until 3 p.m. with Senators permitted to speak therein for up to 10 minutes each; and that following morning business, the Senate begin consideration of H.R. 1, the legislative vehicle for the emergency supplemental appropriations bill. I will also say we are going to have an amendment process there. People should be able to offer amendments. We ought to be able to finish the bill very quickly. If people have amendments, they should visit with the two managers of the bill. I assume the managers will be Senator Leahy and Senator Cochran. Finally, at 5 p.m., the Senate proceed to executive session under the previous order. The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so ordered. ____________________
