The Senate stands adjourned until 4:00pm on Monday, November 13, 2017.
Following Leader remarks, the Senate will resume consideration of Executive Calendar #159, Derek Kan, of California, to be Under Secretary of Transportation, post-cloture.
At 5:30pm, all post-cloture time will expire and the Senate will vote on confirmation of the Kan nomination. Upon disposition of the Kan nomination, the cloture motion with respect to the nomination of Executive Calendar #254, Stephen Gill Bradbury, of Virginia, to be General Counsel to the Department of Transportation, will ripen and the Senate will vote on the motion to invoke cloture on the Bradbury nomination.

Upon disposition of the first nomination, there would be a cloture vote on the next nomination in the series and then, if cloture is invoked, up to 30 hours of debate.
