Harry Reid said "also, we are going to take up the minimum wage bill this afternoon. I hope we can finish it this week. There are a lot of things going on. There is a conference going on someplace outside the boundary of the United States. We have a lot of work to do. We are going to have votes throughout this bill. It will be a little complicated because of cloture being involved, but I will be meeting with the Republican leader later today, and we will talk about ways we can move forward on this minimum wage legislation, perhaps in a more timely fashion.
