Mr. President, following leader remarks, there will be an hour of morning business. The majority will control the first 30 minutes; the Republicans will control the next 30 minutes. The Senate will then resume consideration of the Wall Street reform legislation. There will be 30 minutes of debate prior to a vote in relation to the Gregg amendment No. 4051 regarding State bailouts. The Senate will recess from 12:30 until 2:15 for the weekly caucus meetings. Last night, I filed cloture on the substitute to S. 3217, the Wall Street reform legislation. As a result, there is a 12 noon filing deadline for first-degree amendments. The first vote will occur before noon sometime today. ____________________
