Mr. President, following leader remarks, there will be a period of morning business for 1 hour. Senators will be permitted to speak for up to 10 minutes each at that time. Republicans will control the first 30 minutes and the majority will control the second 30 minutes. Upon the conclusion of morning business, the Senate will resume consideration of the House message on H.R. 4213, the tax extenders legislation. There will be up to 5 minutes for debate on the Baucus amendment, with the time equally divided and controlled between Senators Baucus and Grassley or their designees. The Senate will then proceed to vote on the motion to waive the Budget Act with respect to the Baucus amendment. Senators should expect additional votes this afternoon in relation to amendments to the tax extenders bill. Senators will be notified when any additional votes are scheduled. ____________________
