we have several unanimous consent requests with respect to our schedule today. Following the time for the two leaders, we will consider the Interior appropriations conference report under a 20-minute time limit. Following that debate, we will return to the energy conference report for final closing remarks. At the conclusion of that debate, we will have a series of rollcall votes on these measures. I would anticipate those votes occurring sometime around 10:45 or so this morning. After those votes are completed, we will return to the gun manufacturers liability bill. We have an agreement for a limited number of amendments, with time agreements on each of those. Therefore, we will have votes throughout the afternoon until passage of that legislation. Finally, we will also consider the highway conference report when it becomes available from the House. It is not yet here. All Senators should be aware that we will have a substantial number of rollcall votes today, as many as 13 over the course of the day. Therefore, we ask that Senators remain close to the Chamber throughout the day to facilitate the votes and our remaining business. Vitiation of Unanimous-Consent Agreement--H.R. 2985
