That will be followed by special orders in favor of the distinguished Senator from Pennsylvania and the distinguished Senator from Wisconsin . There will then be a period for the transaction of routine morning business. not to extend beyond the hour of 11 a.m. with statements limited therein to 5 minutes each. Following morning business. the Senate will resume consideration of S. 1200. the immigration bill. I understand that we have finished all the immigration amendments. We can go to final passage. except there is sort of a contest about who can offer a Social Security amendment to the immigration bill. It is not germane at all. It has no place on this bill. I would hope that all Members who want to demonstrate they are the strongest on Social Security can save that amendment until the debt ceiling bill. If that can be accomplished. we can have final passage of the immigration bill any time today. We will try to set a time for the vote on final passage when all Members who can be present are present. I know at least two Members are attending a funeral this morning. We will try to accommodate those two Members and other Members as well. If we are unable to finish the immigration bill immediately. we could set it aside temporarily and do some work on the Superfund. There are still 25 or 30 amendments pending on Superfund. some being highly controversial. I would like to finish Superfund today.
