On the recordMarch 7, 2013
the Senate will recess from 12:30 until 2 p.m. today. Both the majority and minority have caucus meetings. Cloture was filed on the nomination this morning. If no agreement is reached, we are going to vote Saturday morning. I hope we can arrive at an earlier vote, but everyone should note we have sent directives to all of the Senators on this side indicating we may need a vote on Saturday. We need to do this because we have to be on the continuing resolution on Monday, and we have to finish that next week because the next week is the budget and we have to do that before the break we take for Easter. ____________________
