Harry Reid said "Mr. President, tomorrow the Senate, as I indicated, will resume consideration of the START treaty. Senators are encouraged to come forth to offer and debate their amendments. Rollcall votes are possible before and after the closed session. As I said, Mr. President--and if I didn't, I want to make it clear again--we must complete the funding resolution on Tuesday because after midnight, the funding runs out for our country. So we will have those cloture votes Tuesday unless we can expedite them with unanimous consent prior to that time. ___________________
