At 11:30. the two leaders will control 10 minutes each. with the Republican leader controlling the time from 11:30 to 11:40 and the majority leader controlling the time from 11:40 to 11:50. Therefore. if the leaders use the time available to them. the first vote will occur about 11:50. The first vote will be on the motion to invoke cloture on the motion to proceed to H.R. 800. the Employee Free Choice Act. Regardless of the outcome of that vote. even If cloture is invoked on that motion. the Senate will then proceed to vote on the motion to proceed to S. 1639. the immigration bill. Following the second vote. the Senate will then recess until 2:15 in order to permit the respective party conference meetings. The schedule is difficult.
