Okay, on the main C-SPAN, it says next up: vote on offshore oil drilling bill; after that, Audit the Fed bill

 

[Tinnuhana]

Still voting on the off shore drilling Markey amendment...not adopted
Now there's another amendment by Markey. No vote on HR 459 till they're done with the drilling bill
There are three more amendments after this one.
