Mr. REID. I now move to proceed to executive session to consider Calendar No. 1147.

Mr. REID. There is a cloture motion at the desk.

Mr. REID

Mr. REID. Mr. President, following my remarks and those of the Republican leader, the Senate will resume consideration of the motion to concur in the House amendment to the Senate amendment to H.R. 83, which is the omnibus spending bill. Rollcall votes are expected throughout the day. If no time agreement is reached, the cloture vote on the motion to concur in relation to the omnibus will be at approximately 1 a.m. tomorrow morning.

Mr. REID

Mr. REID. Well, it appears so. At 10 o'clock or so last night he gave a relatively extended speech. If someone looks at that speech, he wasn't critical of me. Most of his criticism was for the Speaker and the Republican leader here. He was challenging whether they were people of their word as to what they were going to do.

Mr. REID. The very same man. Now he is hung up on not only the Affordable Care Act but the President's action to give 5 million people relief in this country so they can come out of the shadows and make our country a more productive place.

Mr. REID. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that any remaining votes with these nominations be 10 minutes in duration.

Mr. REID. Mr. President, under the standing order rollcall votes are 15 minutes. What we usually do is have a grace period, just by practice. In the future the Chair will call the votes after 15 minutes.

Mr. REID. Mr. President, I move to proceed to executive session to consider Calendar No. 681.
