Schedule for Tuesday, November 17, 2015

Following the prayer and pledge, the Senate will observe a moment of silence for the victims of the Paris attacks.

Following any Leader remarks, the Senate will be in a period of morning business until 11:00am.

As a reminder, during today's session Senator McConnell moved to proceed to H.R.2577, THUD appropriations, and filed cloture on the motion. Unless an agreement can be reached, the cloture vote would occur one hour after the Senate convenes on Wednesday, November 18.

Tomorrow at 11:00am, we expect Senator McConnell to move to proceed to S.J.Res.24, a joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of a rule submitted by the Environmental Protection Agency relating to "Carbon Pollution Emission Guidelines for Existing Stationary Sources: Electric Utility Generating Units".

Under the statute, there would be up to 10 hours for debate equally divided prior to a vote on passage of the joint resolution.
