This is the appropriations bill on which the Udall Bill is riding. The House of Representatives approved the conference report on the bill yesterday, Friday, 7 November. The U. S. Senate will take up the conference report at 1:00 PM EST today, Saturday. That's noon central, 11:00 mountain, 10:00 pacific, but you knew that. They anticipate 90 minutes of speaking before the vote. It will be televised in the U.S. on C-Span 2. ...just in case anybody wants to watch it....
