Members have until the hour of 1:30 today in order to file timely amendments to S. 25. In addition to the cloture vote on the pending amendment. a cloture vote may occur on Tuesday on the underlying campaign finance reform bill. On Friday. a cloture motion was also filed on the MackGraham amendment on immigration to the D.C. appropriations bill. So it may be necessary to have a cloture vote during Tuesdays session on that also if an agreement is not reached. The Senators are working together. I have spoken with them and I am still hopeful that an agreement can be worked out. There are some other pending amendments on the D.C. appropriations bill. but we think maybe we will be able to reach a conclusion on those if we can get the immigration amendment by Senator MACK worked out. Therefore. it is possible that we could complete action on the D.C. appropriations bill tomorrow. This week. the Senate will also be considering other available appropriations conference reports.
