Hey all, got to break away and log off for about the next 30-40 minutes, please keep an eye on things and post here if anything on the DA occurs.

Many thanks. I'll pick up as soon as I get back.

2:16pm PT

Reid just stated that the Dream Act S 2205 will be considered following Labor, HHS and Education Funding bill HR 3043.

It is expected tomorrow because there are about 11 amendments to be voted on before a cloture vote on HR 3043.

Then the Dread Act will follow. Senate will begin in the morning around 9am EST. I do not know what time they will ajourn tonight.
