“Following my remarks and those of the Republican leader, we will be in a period of morning business until 11 o'clock this morning. Republicans will control the first half and Democrats the final half. At 11 a.m. this morning the Senate will proceed to executive session to consider Executive Calendar Nos. 525, 595, 527, and 529. These are all extremely important nominations. At 11:30 this morning there will be up to four rollcall votes on the confirmation of these nominations. We also hope to consider the debt limit legislation, military retirement pay, and, hopefully, additional nominations today. ____________________”
