The Senate passed the FARM bill conference report by a vote of 68-32.

Following the vote, Senator Reid withdrew the pending motion to proceed to Cal. #297, S.1950, Comprehensive Veterans Health and Benefits and Military Retirement Pay Restoration Act of 2014.

Then, in order to make it procedurally possible to call up a new Reed amendment (3 month paid for extension of UI benefits), Senator Reid withdrew the motion to commit S.1845 by consent and asked to withdraw Reid amendment #2631. Senator McConnell reserved his right to object and asked that the pending amendments be withdrawn and that Senators be permitted to offer amendments in an alternating fashion.

Senator Reid objected to the modification without an agreement to vote on passage of the bill and Senator McConnell objected to withdrawing the Reed amendment. Senator Reid then moved to table Reed amendment #2631.

At 3:06pm, the Senate began a 15 minute roll call vote on the Reid motion to table the Reed amendment #2631;

Tabled: 98-0

The Reed amendment #2631 to S.1845 was tabled 98-0.

Senator Reid then offered Reed amendment #2714 (3 month extension of unemployment insurance benefits paid for with pension smoothing/no UI for millionaires). Senator Reid also filed cloture on the Reed amendment and the underlying bill, S.1845, Emergency Unemployment Compensation Extension Act of 2014.

The cloture vote on the Reed amendment #2714 will occur at a time to be determined on Thursday, February 6. If cloture is invoked, there would be up to 30 hours for debate prior to a vote on the amendment. If cloture is not invoked, the Senate would proceed immediately to a cloture vote on S.1845.

Senator Reid then moved to proceed to Calendar #298, S.1963 (military pension COLA).

Senator Reid filled the amendment tree with the following amendments:

Reed amendment #2714 (3 month extension of unemployment insurance benefits paid for with pension smoothing/no UI for millionaires)

Reid amendment #2715 to #2714 (date change)

Reid motion to commit the bill with instructions (#2716) (date change)

At a time to be determined by the Majority Leader, with the concurrence of the Republican Leader, the Senate will proceed to the consideration of Executive Calendar #629, the nomination of Max Sieben Baucus, of Montana, to be Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the United States of America to the People’s Republic of China. When the Senate considers the nomination, there will be up to 60 minutes of debate equally divided in the usual form. Upon the use or yielding back of time, the Senate will proceed to vote on confirmation of the nomination.

We expect the vote to occur on Thursday, February 6, 2014.
