On the recordJune 29, 2012
I know Senators are anxious as to what is going to happen here today. The Republican leader and I have been in close contact the last several days. We are fortunate that we are now in a position to complete work today. We should be able to do it quickly. It all depends on the cooperation of Senators. We actually know the House is planning to vote around 12:30 today. They could do it more quickly. They could do it as late as 1 o'clock. We have the ability, now that the papers have been filed over in the House, to act before they do, as we have done before. So we will have to see how the morning moves on. We are working on a consent to have votes in relation to the transportation conference report this morning. I know Senators have called me and, I am sure, the Republican leader on a number of occasions. As soon as we have something firmed up, we will let everyone know. Health Care Decision
