“I welcome back the President pro tempore and the entire staff and look forward to our continuing work together over the next 2 weeks and to see what happens after that. Following my remarks and those of the Republican leader, the Senate will resume the motion to proceed to Calendar No. 265, S. 1845, the unemployment insurance extension. At 3 p.m. the Senate will proceed to executive session to consider the nomination of Janet Yellen to be Chairman of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, postcloture. The time until 5:30 p.m. will be equally divided and controlled. There will be two rollcall votes at 5:30 p.m., first on confirmation of the Yellen nomination and second on the motion to invoke cloture on the motion to proceed to the unemployment insurance legislation. There could be a series of votes after that dealing with other nominations. We will keep everyone advised as to what is going on. ____________________”
