Continuing Resolution-- 1pm first degree filing deadline

Yesterday Senator Reid filed cloture on the H.J.Res.59, the continuing resolution. If cloture is invoked, germane first degree amendments must be filed at the desk prior to 1:00pm today to be considered in order, if cloture is invoked.

If no agreement can be reached, the cloture vote on the joint resolution would occur one hour after the Senate convenes tomorrow, Friday, September 27. However, by consent the vote could be moved to another time, perhaps even later today. Senators will be notified when any votes are scheduled.
