Harry Reid said "I apologize to everyone, including the Presiding Officer, for having to wait, but there was an important meeting with a number of Senators going on in the Vice President's office, and I had to have those Senators there before I could determine that we were not to do anything more tonight. So I apologize to everyone for the downtime. Mr. President, we are working to reach an agreement regarding amendments to the small business jobs bill. Senators will be notified when votes are scheduled. I spoke to Senator McConnell earlier today. We know we have some problems to work through, and we will continue to try to do that tomorrow. ___________________
