'We will have a cloture vote on the message from the House on the defense conference report at 1 a.m. Friday morning. We would then have a vote on final passage on the bill at 7 a.m. on Saturday morning.
Following passage of the DoD bill, Senator Reid would file cloture on the manager's amendment, substitute amendment and the underlying bill on health care. This would set up the first cloture vote on the manager's amendment on Monday morning at 1 a.m. The second cloture vote on the substitute amendment would be Tuesday at 7 a.m. And, the cloture vote on the underlying bill would be Wednesday at around 1 p.m. We could get an agreement to wrap up and have a final passage vote on the 23rd, however Republicans could continue to not cooperate and force us to have a vote on final passage on Christmas Eve. We then need to deal with the debt limit. If we get consent with the Republicans, we could vote on that before we leave for Christmas. If not, we will have to come back the week between Christmas and New Years to vote on that.'
