following my remarks and those of the Republican leader, the Senate will be in a period of morning business until 5:30 p.m. At 5:30 p.m., the Senate will proceed to two cloture votes on two Ambassador nominations to two very important countries, Argentina and Hungary; Noah Mamet to be Ambassador to the Argentine Republic and Colleen Bell to be our Ambassador to Hungary. ____________________
