I filed cloture on the motion to proceed to S. 1769, the jobs bill. If no agreement is reached, this vote will occur Thursday morning. ____________________

I am hopeful that we will not have to have a vote on this matter. This is to protect us so if we cannot work out something we will have a vote Thursday morning. I hope we can work out something to have a vote on this most important…

I hope everyone just listened to and watched the exemplary way we are ridding ourselves of some of these amendments. We have two more amendments and it would be great if we didn't have to vote on those. I think the explanation given by the…

We have 16 more amendments that we must vote on. I hope people will look at those closely. A number of them--in fact, most of them--can be done by voice vote. If they win, it doesn't matter how you win. Let's get done with them as quickly…

No. What I said I would do is when we get ready to schedule these votes, I will do it. I will make sure you are here. Mr. McCONNELL. Fair enough. I want to echo the comments of the majority leader. In my time in the Senate some of our best…
