On the recordMay 13, 2013
following leader remarks, the Senate will be in a period of morning business and Senators during that period of time will be allowed to speak for up to 10 minutes each. The filing deadline for all first-degree amendments to S. 601, the Water Resources Development Act, is 4 p.m. today. I had a conversation with Senator Vitter on Friday and Senator Boxer today, and I think we are very close to a universal agreement on that legislation to wrap it up as early as tomorrow. I hope that, in fact, is true. As previously announced, there will be no rollcall votes today. The first vote of the week will be on cloture at noon tomorrow unless we work out an agreement. ____________________
