to clarify, we will have a vote on the pending Feinstein amendment regarding the orange card program. Members can expect this vote to occur shortly before 11 a.m. That will be the first vote. A few moments ago, I filed cloture on the immigration bill and a judicial nomination.

The Senator from Pennsylvania is recognized. ____________________
