“Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that when the Senate completes its business today, it adjourn until 2 p.m. on Monday, December 13; that following the prayer and pledge, the Journal of proceedings be approved to date, the morning hour be deemed expired, the time for the two leaders be reserved for their use later in the day, and that following any leader remarks, the Senate resume consideration of the motion to concur with respect to H.R. 4853, the vehicle for the tax compromise, with the time until 3 p.m. equally divided and controlled between the two leaders or their designees; and that at 3 p.m. the Senate proceed to a vote, as provided for under the previous order. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. ____________________”
