The Senate stands in adjournment until 9:30am on Thursday, July 18, 2013.  Following the prayer and pledge, the Majority Leader will be recognized.

• Following the remarks of the two Leaders, there will be a period of morning business for one hour with the Majority controlling the first half and the Republicans controlling the final half.
• Following morning business, the Senate will resume consideration of Executive Session to consider the nomination of Thomas Edward Perez, of MD, to be Secretary of Labor, post-cloture.
• All time during adjournment, morning business, legislative session and recess will count post-cloture on the Perez nomination.
• Upon disposition of the Perez nomination, there will be a cloture vote on Executive Calendar #98, the nomination of Regina McCarthy, of MA, to be Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency. If cloture is invoked on the McCarthy nomination, there will be up to 8 hours of debate on the nomination. We hope to confirm both the Perez and McCarthy nominations during Thursday’s session of the Senate.

Senator Reid moved to proceed to Calendar #99, S.1243, the Transportation, and Housing and Urban Development (THUD) Appropriations bill. The motion to proceed is a debatable motion and we will work with senators on an agreement to adopt the motion early next week.

The Senate is in a period of morning business for 1 hour, with senators permitted to speak therein for up to 10 minutes each. The Majority controls the first 30 minutes and the Republicans control the final 30 minutes.

The Senate is in a period of morning business for 1 hour, with senators permitted to speak therein for up to 10 minutes each. The Majority controls the first 30 minutes and the Republicans control the final 30 minutes.

Following morning business, the Senate will resume Executive session to consider Executive Calendar #99, the nomination of Thomas Perez, of Maryland, to be Secretary of Labor, post-cloture. We would like to vote on confirmation of the Perez nomination and cloture on the McCarthy nomination this morning and on confirmation of the McCarthy nomination early after the lunches. We will continue to work with the Republicans on an agreement to set those votes. Senators will be notified when the votes are scheduled.

Senator Reid also announced that there is also an agreement among Senators Harkin, Durbin, King, Manchin, Alexander, Coburn and Burr on the student loan interest rate legislation. We will work with senators on a path forward that could result in a couple votes. I suspect the process of reaching an agreement for floor consideration will take a bit of time and it would slip into next week, but Senator Reid has said he would like to consider it as soon as possible.

By consent, the vote on confirmation of the Perez nomination will occur at 12:15pm today. Following disposition of the Perez nomination, the time until 2:30pm will be equally divided in the usual form prior to the cloture vote on the McCarthy nomination. If cloture is invoked on McCarthy, there would be up to 8 hours for debate prior to a vote on confirmation. However, we hope to be able to yield a good portion of that time back.

12:15pm vote:

Confirmation of Executive Calendar #99, the nomination of Thomas Edward Perez, of Maryland, to be Secretary of Labor

2:30pm vote:

Cloture on Executive Calendar #98, the nomination of Regina McCarthy, of MA, to be Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency

TBD vote:

Confirmation of Executive Calendar #98, the nomination of Regina McCarthy, of MA, to be Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency

12:16pm The Senate began a 15 minute roll call vote on confirmation of Executive Calendar #99, the nomination of Thomas Edward Perez, of Maryland, to be Secretary of Labor;

Confirmed: 54-46

2:31pm The Senate began a 15 minute roll call vote on the motion to invoke cloture on Executive Calendar #98, the nomination of Regina McCarthy, of MA, to be Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency;

Invoked: 69-31

Cloture was invoked on the McCarthy nomination by a vote of 69-31. There will now be up to 8 hours for debate. We hope to yield back a substantial amount of time, and we could potentially vote within the hour. However, that takes consent and we’re still working on it.

Senator Reid filed cloture on the motion to proceed to S.1243, Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2014. By consent, the vote on the motion to invoke cloture on the motion to proceed will occur at 12:00 noon on Tuesday, July 23^rd. If cloture is invoked, all post cloture time will be yielded back and the Senate will proceed to vote on the motion to proceed. If the motion to proceed to Calendar #99, S.1243 is adopted, the text of H.R.2610, as reported by the House Appropriations, be deemed House passed text for the purposes of rule 16.
