On the recordNovember 18, 2011
The next rollcall vote will be Monday, November 28, at about 5:30 p.m., on confirmation of the Droney nomination. Additional votes on DOD authorization amendments are possible Monday evening, and everyone should be aware of that. Senators Levin and McCain want to move as many amendments as they can, and so we will try to schedule some more amendments that evening to be voted on. I would also indicate, we have worked long and hard today to try to have a consent agreement on amendments to go to the Energy and Water appropriations bill. Senators Feinstein and Alexander have worked very hard. At this stage, we just can't do it. I am sorry we didn't try to do it yesterday because yesterday's issues were easier than those today. Twenty-four hours has not helped, but we will continue to work on that. ____________________
