following my remarks and those of Senator McConnell, there will be a period of morning business until 11 a.m., with the first 30 minutes controlled by the majority and the second 30 minutes by the Republicans. Following morning business the Senate will resume consideration of S. 1243, which is the Transportation appropriations bill.

Senators will be notified when votes are scheduled. ____________________
