Mr. SCHUMER. Madam President, today, the Senate resumes consideration of the emergency national security supplemental package.

Last night, after we agreed to the motion to proceed, I laid down the substitute amendment, which has the text of the supplemental, and then I filed cloture on both the substitute and the underlying bill.

We are still hoping to reach an agreement with Republicans on a reasonable list of amendments so we can speed this process up. Democrats have always been willing to have a fair and reasonable amendment process on the floor, as we have shown on many occasions in the last 3 years; but if no further agreement is reached, the next vote is scheduled to take place tomorrow, Sunday, at approximately 1 p.m.

As I have said all week, we will keep working on this bill until the job is done.
