On the recordDecember 1, 2011
following leader remarks the Senate will be in morning business until 11 a.m. Following that morning business, the Senate will resume consideration of the Defense Department authorization bill. This will be postcloture debate. We expect to complete action on the Defense bill today. We will give everyone as much notice as we can when we have votes coming. Additionally, yesterday I filed cloture on a motion to proceed to S. 1917, a middle-class tax cut. If no agreement is reached, this vote will be tomorrow morning. ____________________
