Vote sequence for Wednesday

We expect to begin voting at 11:15am tomorrow. The first vote will be on the motion to proceed to Inhofe's resolution of disapproval to be followed by votes in relation to the remaining amendments in order to the Farm bill and on passage of the bill.  If we have to vote on all the amendments, there would be up to 47 roll call votes in this series. I again noted the amendments we could consider by voice vote, but there are only 9 amendments on that list.  Senators should expect a long day of voting tomorrow.

The vote sequence is as follows:

- Motion to proceed to S.J.Res. 37, a joint resolution disapproving a rule promulgated by the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency relating to emission standards for certain steam generating units
