The Senate stands adjourned until 10:00am on Tuesday, July 31, 2018.
 
Following Leader remarks, the Senate will resume consideration of Executive Calendar #1006, Britt Grant, of Georgia, to be U.S. Circuit Judge for the Eleventh Circuit, post-cloture.

The Senate will recess following the vote on S.1182 until 2:15pm to allow for the weekly caucus meetings.
 
At 2:15pm, the Senate will vote on confirmation of the Grant nomination and the motion to invoke cloture on Shelby amendment #3399 (substitute) to H.R.6147, Minibus II (FSGG/Interior/THUD/Ag).
 
As a result of cloture having been filed on H.R.6147, Minibus II, and the Shelby substitute amendment, the filing deadline for 2nd degree amendments is one hour prior to the cloture vote.
